Description:  Captain Pugwash is a children's cartoon about a pompous but cowardly pirate captain whose adventures usually lead to humorous trouble, often with the help of his crew, particularly the clever cabin boy, Tom. The original series featured a unique "paper engineering" animation style with painted backdrops and cutout figures, while later iterations continued the story with more modern animation. The character first appeared in the comic Eagle before being adapted for television, and he is known for his catchphrases like "Dolloping doubloons!".
