Mr. Jinks is a cat and a recurring character in the Yogi Bear franchise. He speaks in a Beatnik with a Beatnik accent.
Background[]
Mr. Jinks is a cat who constantly chases Pixie and Dixie, of whom he routinely says his famous quote, "I hate meeces to pieces!", although he is sometimes a friend of the two. He speaks in a whimsical speech pattern, using beatnik slang and saying the word "like" in a majority of sentences he makes.
Personality[]
Mr. Jinks is a very laid back, confident, fussy and high-strung feline. He can be quite irritable when it comes to Pixie and Dixie associated with him, especially since they love to pull pranks on him. As a result, the three of them are engaged in an on-and-off battle of "Cat and Mouse."
Despite their rivalry, he and Pixie and Dixie do have a soft spot for one another. Jinks doesn't exactly understand why he chases them, but he believes that "cats are supposed to hate meeces".
Physical Appearance[]
Jinks is a tall and slender anthropomorphic tabby cat with orange fur and tan highlights on his feet, hands, inside of his ears and muzzle, a black nose, black eyes, black eyebrows and whiskers. The only piece of clothing he normally wears is his trademark blue bow tie.
In the series, Laff-a-Lympics, as part of the Yogi Yahooeys, he wears a red-orange T-shirt with a white "Y" on it.
Roles[]
Yo Yogi![]
In the episode "Of Meeces and Men", Jinks runs a local cheese cottage at the Jellystone Mall, but constantly tries to remove Pixie and Dixie, due to the fact that they eat his cheese on numerous occasions. He later teams up with Dickie Dastardly and Muttley, to get rid of the two mice, which they eventually do. After numerous failed attempts of trying to get them back into the cheese store, Yogi is able to separate the teamwork between Dickie and Jinks, and get Jinks to allow the mice back in.
Jellystone![]
In the Max original series, Jellystone!, he works as Mayor Huckleberry's personal assistant. Unlike previous iterations, he is not paired up with, nor teamed up with Pixie and Dixie. In the episode "Business", Jinks reveals that he has romantic feelings towards Huck.
