Description:  Dingbat and the Creeps is a cartoon featuring a trio of monstrous friends—Dingbat the vampire dog, Sparerib the shape-shifting skeleton, and Nobody the jack-o'-lantern—who run a business called "Odd Jobs, Inc.". The segments were part of the 1980 animated series, "The Heathcliff and Dingbat Show," which was later replaced by the Catillac Cats segment. The characters are often shown going on adventures and taking on various jobs.

Character descriptions: Dingbat: A vampire dog who is the leader of the group. Sparerib: A silly skeleton who can rearrange his bones into different objects. Nobody: A gravelly-voiced jack-o'-lantern who leads the trio and finds them work.

Show context: The segments appeared as a backup to the Heathcliff cartoons in the 1980 series, The Heathcliff and Dingbat Show. The trio formed a company called "Odd Jobs, Inc." to find work, which could be anything from lumberjacking to playing professional football. The second season replaced Dingbat and the Creeps with the Catillac Cats segments.
