Description:  Lippy the Lion and Hardy Har Har is a 1960s animated cartoon series about a perpetually optimistic lion named Lippy who comes up with get-rich-quick schemes, which his pessimistic hyena sidekick, Hardy Har Har, reluctantly goes along with. The duo's plans frequently backfire, with Hardy often suffering the most, despite his cynical warnings and moans of "Oh me, oh my, oh dear".

Lippy the Lion: A happy-go-lucky lion who wears a tattered top hat and vest. He is always looking for a way to make a fortune, often through a variety of scams.

Hardy Har Har: A perpetually depressed hyena who wears a porkpie hat and bow tie. His name is ironic, as he is the complete opposite of the joyful character his name suggests, and he is always pessimistic about Lippy's plans.

Plot: The cartoons often take place in an urban setting, despite an opening sequence that suggests a jungle setting. The plots revolve around Lippy's latest scheme, with Hardy providing the cynical commentary and ultimately bearing the brunt of the consequences.
