HOUBA!
―Marsupilami's signature phrase

Marsupilami is a yellow, spotted, long-tailed marsupial and a character, who first appeared in the 1992 animated series Raw Toonage and later the titular character of the show of the same name, respectively. He lives in the jungle with Maurice. The character was originally created by André Franquin; the cartoon character is greatly different from Franquin's original version.

Appearances[]

Raw Toonage/Marsupilami[]

Marsupilami made his first animated debut on Disney's Raw Toonage. Here, he does not only say "HOUBA!" He can actually talk. And he has a gorilla sidekick named Maurice. Instead of Bring M. Backalive, His Human enemy is Norman.

Bonkers[]

He appeared with Darkwing Duck in the Bonkers episode "The 29th Page".

Trivia[]

  • Marsupilami first appeared in the pages of Franco-Belgian comic Spirou et Fantasio (Spirou and Fantasio). In the comic, Spirou's friend Fantasio must compete in a series of tasks against his evil cousin Zantafio. The final task involved capturing the elusive creature which wounds up being more difficult than they thought. The following stories involve the duo having to deal with the Marsupilami's chaotic characteristics and trying to return it home to Palombia.
    • In the original Marsupilami comics by André Franquin, he lives in South America with his wife and three children Bibi, Bibo, and Bobo. In this version, he only says "Houba, houba", but he can mimic people like a parrot.
    • In addition, Marsupilami's human antagonist is the hunter Bring M. Backalive (a pun on "Bring 'em back alive") instead of Norman.
