Tania Kitchin's Cartoon Character Clerihew Contest

8/12/2025

Mister Magoo appeared as a cartoon character in 1949. He was created by Millard Kauffman and John Hubley. Wikipedia describes him as an elderly, wealthy, short-statured retiree with extreme near-sightedness.

Mister Magoo -
“Quincy’s” eyesight’s askew.
This old geezer
tried his hand as “Ebenezer.”

Dear Kim, this brought a smile— you’ve captured his charm (and his famously fuzzy vision) perfectly here. The “Ebenezer” touch was a clever nod! Hugs
