      Rocky & Bullwinkle looks like it was in regular syndication in pretty much every decade as late as the mid 2000s, so I guess as long as you were a kid during one of those times (or during the original run in the 50s and 60s), you could’ve been familiar with Snidely.

      Dudley DoRight cartoons were popular in the mid-60s, and featured Dudley as the Royal Canadian Mounty, the beautiful sweet Nell, and villain Snidely Whiplash. Snidely was always kidnapping Nell and tying her the train tracks for some reason. It was pretty much the same plot in every episode.

      They may have been from the same studio as Rocky And Bullwinkle.
