I have two tapes at home of this interesting gem from the 1930s and 1940s. Could I please have some more info on Heckel and Jeckel?

Hey, I remember them. They aired with Mighty Mouse in syndication in the 70s and 80s. The twin magpies (I called them crows). One was English and always said I SAY OLE CHAP or something like that and the other talked like Edward G Robinson. They were always beating up on some poor sap. Very funny. The type of cartoon probably considered too violent for today's tv.

I remember that cartoon years ago. I saw that one on Ebay was a 16mm TV print of a Heckle & Jeckle cartoon called "Free Enterprise". I think that this is a picture of the TV main title used in a first ever Saturday morning TV series "Mighty Mouse Playhouse".

I'd be willing to purchase a copy of that if you are interested.

Strangely, in their first cartoon, they were a male - female couple, looking for a birdhouse :| ( unamed in that film )
