Does anybody remember Leonardo Lion? King of Bongo Kongo? My baby sister loved that one and I 'd always watch it with her. Curse with a memory that retains just about every useless fact I remember the opening song:
   
   Here comes Leonardo, Leonardo Lion
   King of Bongo Kongo, that hero lion of Iron.
   And there's Odio Cologney who's loyal and true blue
   That royal skunk with skill and spunk comes through to save the day

   I say there's the booming Hunter and wiry, witty Fox
   And Tutor who brings fun to you in Wizard's magic box

   There's Biggy with his pistols and Itchy with his fleas
   They plot against the Kingdom to over throw the King
   But Odio Cologney steps in to change the play
   That royal skunk with skill and spunk comes thru to save the day!

Or something like that.
With regards to Licky Louse, Mr. Krabs is now appearing with Spongebob Squarepants and is doing quite well but Licky would definitely be a more interesting character, IMO.
