Colonel Bleep '69
Project Overview
This show is based on a 1957 series sharing the titular character's name, along with being the first animated TV show produced in living color. The series revolves around an intelligent extraterrestrial space ranger who embarks on adventures during the Golden Space Age with a band of unexpected misfit friends.
Please be aware that the original source material is in the public domain. However, this project is not intended to be a fanfiction, an insulting live action remake (with an overdose of CGI), or even a disgusting slasher horror series!
If you're interested in joining the cast, you will gain VIP access to the Discord alternative, Stoat (formerly known as Revolt), the series pitch bible, flexible remote working conditions, benefits to your career and portfolio, and a creative and fun working environment!
Please note that these roles are currenlty under the volunteer category, where you will not be paid until further notice. However, I am setting up a Ko-Fi page for donors to support the series and so that I can raise enough money to pay voice actors (and other future employees) their deserved minimum wages.

I am Colonel Bleep! Interplanetary intelligence agent of the Futura High Command! I have come from Futura to your world in the name of peace, progress, truth, and justice.
Speak of the quantum realm, I've got my own business to take care of.
Look, I’m sorry I had to spill out all of this upsetting information, but as we grow old, we have to get ready for changes that we’re not.
Dr. Destructo
Character Background
Terrifying as he looks, Dr. Destructo is a vicious force to reckon with. Initially seen as an outcast and a pushover, Destructo set off to a path for greatness. Once discovering his power of the mysterious dark energy, Destructo abused his gift with sorcery in creating his own castle, stealing prized possesions, and killing anyone he despises (whether its for a reason or not). When he finds out that Colonel Bleep could become a potential successor, the doctor would vow to perform every trick in the book to exterminate his new arch-nemesis.

Ha! Finally, I knew you were here all along! For I am Dr. Destructo, mastermind and sorcerer of the dark cosmic powers of the universe! Now, prepare to feel my carnage!
*Evil chuckle* At last, I have surpassed the so-called greatest spaceman!
So much for a bloody hunt.
Scratch
Character Background
Many would believe that the first humans that roamed the Earth are completely extinct, but Scratch is one exception. Life was simple for Scratch as he grew up in a nomadic tribe following the herds in Paleolithic Europe. Then his world turned upside down once he was swept in a snowstorm and frozen for 20,000 years.
Then Colonel Bleep stumbled upon the ice that somehow kept Scratch alive and brought him back in the 20th century. So now, Bleep is escorting the caveman in the modern world, along with the ways of being a noble space deputy. Luckily, Scratch has plenty of strength, courage, and kindness to prove Bleep he is worthy of one.

By the way, I’m Scratch. Hunter, woodsman, nomad, and survivor from ice for 20,000 years.
Sorry we frightened you earlier. But whatever is going on, we can try and help you.
We can at least still discover all the new things the world has to offer right?
Squeak
Character Background
Squeak may be adorable, but he’s also a rebellious wooden puppet. Having been brought to life from the radiation of the first atomic bomb, Squeak set off for a life of adventure such as working as an actor in Hollywood (though with terrible results), to traveling across the country, and to pursuing the goal of becoming an astronaut.
Once he crosses paths with Colonel Bleep and Scratch, that’s when Squeak realizes that fufilling his space exploration dreams goes beyond just piloting a rocket. Fortunately he’s got a believing heart (even if he doesn’t always think twice) and is capable of forming a strong friendship with the spaceman and caveman.
Positive Traits
Playful, Giggly, Charming, Humorous, Joyful, Adventurous, Curious, Energetic, Clever, Determined, Helpful, Valiant
Negative Traits

Note: Squeak was not built with a mouth so he is given a voice device that can produce its speech based on his thoughts. The voice is supposed to sound like it came from a walkie-talkie.

When you happen to be a living toy, you know life on Earth will suck! Which is why I attempted start over in outer space!
If it weren’t for that crash, I don’t think I’d be able to tell my story to two awesome men that can move mountains and have a cool-looking starhip.
