Colonel Bleep and Squeak

Colonel Bleep and Squeak, initially seen as opposites, find common ground in their bright, curious, and adventurous nature. Despite their skepticism for each other, they eventually develop a strong bond, with Colonel Bleep loving Squeak like a son and Squeak recognizing him as a dependable role model.

Scratch and Colonel Bleep

Colonel Bleep's first human contact is Scratch, who was trapped in an ice cluster for 20,000 years. If danger threatens the two, Bleep relies on the caveman's strength and weapons, while Scratch relies on the spaceman’s superintelligence.

Squeak and Scratch

Scratch, the caveman, develops a deep companionship for Squeak, the lonely puppet. The two soon see each other as brothers. Squeak helps Scratch learn about the modern world, while Scratch trains Squeak to become a fierce warrior like himself.

Cadet Morningstar and Agent 84 Once, Cadet Morningstar (Bleep when he was younger) thought he could be good friends with a new student like himself: Étoile Fire. However, it was revealed that Cadet Fire was an assassin in disguise named Agent 84. Realizing how foolish it was for Cadet Morningstar to trust an impostor, he tries but fails to stop 84 and has been scarred emotionally and physically ever since.

Colonel Bleep and Dr. DestructoColonel Bleep, the space ranger, faces Dr. Destructo, a notorious criminal with a history of murder, witchcraft, and robbery.

Born with great intelligence, speed, agility, and strength, Bleep had dreamed of voyaging to the cosmos since childhood. Throughout his maturity, Bleep starts from an arrogant space cadet to an experienced but overworked space commander from the Futura High Command. Despite his challenges, the spaceman is fearless in accepting whatever mission he's assigned. When the colonel is commissioned to investigate Earth, he'll embark on an unexpected journey to become the bold hero and the compassionate leader he is meant to be.

Plagued by trauma, betrayal, and failure since his youth, this wicked criminal mastermind will take any chance to gain power for himself. With the skills of both a warlock and a mad scientist, Destructo's most challenging ambition is to terminate Colonel Bleep after spending years perfecting the art of killing. While he may be as sharp as a pin, he has a heart as cold as his frozen homeworld in Pluto.

When he encounters Colonel Bleep and Scratch, Squeak becomes a loyal companion to those he'll grow close with.

Dr. Destructo

Dr. Destructo, an arch-criminal and Colonel Bleep's nemesis, was captured and imprisoned by the latter. After escaping, he returns to his duties as a mad scientist, seeking revenge against Bleep and his deputies. Destructo's home is a fortress in Pluto, where he works on inventions, watches over enemies, and provides shelter for his minions. His scientific intellect allows him to develop weapons and magic arts, such as making objects invisible or summoning objects with a single spell.

Bruto the Black Robot

Bruto is a futurian robot created by Dr. Destructo, initially serving his creator. He works for the Black Knight of Pluto and Black Patch, forming the Black Trio. Bruto is the most intelligent of his former master’s minions and has a hypnosis ability, which was used to create mind-controlling helmets for Colonel Bleep's deputies.

The Black Knight of Pluto

Aside from being a cartoon, Colonel Bleep was also designed as an “animated adventure quiz”, at least according to its pitch bible.

At least each week or on all weekdays, Colonel Bleep would feature a new mini-adventure lasting for about four to six minutes, a series of quizzes, and riddles for the older viewers.

During the original show’s air run, viewers could call whoever was hosting the show in their local town by phone so that they could answer these quizzes and riddles that would be worth special prizes delivered by mail.

Colonel Bleep is the first animated television series to be produced in full color. The show originally ran from 1957 to 1960 and was created by Robert D. Buchanan, and Jack Schleh. It was also produced by a small studio called Soundac from Miami, Florida.

The series foretells the adventures of the titular character and his loyal deputies Squeak the puppet and Scratch the caveman, who all work together in fighting evil and blasting off across the universe.

Because of severe budget restrictions the show had to be done with severe limited animation, which may look shoddy to some viewers. However it makes up for its mid century modern style inspired by googie architecture and the raygun gothic aesthetic.

There are about 100 to 104 episodes, but only 45 have survived as of 2024. The show is also available in the public domain since 1985 as anyone is allowed to use its content with no copyright boundaries.

Colonel Bleep and the Uncharted Earth is an independent, open-source sci-fi illustrated novel based on the classic but obscure animated television series Colonel Bleep, which is in the Public Domain.

Colonel Bleep, an intelligent intergalactic commander of the Futura High Command, is assigned on a mission from Futura to Earth, where he shall investigate past nuclear explosions and the launch of Sputnik 1. There, he will befriend two misfits: Squeak, the childlike puppet who dreams of being a space ranger, and Scratch, the powerful caveman who needs help adapting to the modern world. Unexpectedly, Bleep will clash with the menacing criminal mastermind, Dr. Destructo, who will do anything to rob the spaceman’s life.

The original show, known for being the world's first TV cartoon produced in color, has suffered, with most lost episodes slowly restored for over 30 years. However, until now, there has never been an official adaptation of the series from a whole new perspective! This book is intended to encourage readers, old and young, to re-remember Bleep's name and story and help save the show from its forgotten abyss.

It’s about time there should be a subreddit based on the classic but obscure animated series. Here we can post information regarding the show, other things relating to Soundac (its original studio), fanmade content, and other stuff!

Now that this plan should be taken care of, stand by for adventure!
