These bumpers appeared before Saturday morning cartoons' commercial breaks during 1986-1987 on ABC, and featured a bug-eyed, big-grinned cartoon character wearing a boater hat, along with his geometrically exaggerated dog. The bumper begins and ends with a red curtain featuring the ABC logo, closing with cartoon hands holding up a placard that says "We'll Return After These Messages" or two cards that say "And Now", "These Messages."
These are the 6 variations of these bumpers:
0:00 - 0:05 Character tap dances into a frenzy and gets enveloped by his hat
0:06 - 0:11 Character is about to complete a house of cards, but loses his balance and falls into a chest
0:13 - 0:18 Character fishes in a kiddie pool and pulls up a gigantic goldfish
0:20 - 0:25 Character 'bull fights' his dog, and gets shadowed by a real bull
0:26 - 0:31 Character blows up a balloon and accidentally ingests the air, inflating himself
0:32 - 0:37 Character completes a sand castle, and gets sneak attacked by a huge wave
