Carbon Costume

Sylvester J. Pussycat, Sr. (originally voiced by Mel Blanc) is one of the Looney Tunes.  A black and white cat, Sylvester has a lisp and uses the catchphrase, “Sufferin’ succotash,” often during his skirmishes with Tweety Bird.  To recreate Sylvester’s look, you have a few choices.  Replica costumes do exist which include a full-head mask designed to closely resemble the cartoon character.  Pair this with white animal paw gloves and slippers to complete the look.  Alternately, if full-face masks aren’t your thing, you could use a black and white onesie with the same gloves and slippers, and simply add a black and white cat tail and ears to your costume.  As long as you take the time to memorize Sylvester’s signature phrase, there will be no doubt which cat you’re trying to emulate.

Secret Squirrel (voiced by Mel Blanc) is a secret agent in the same-named cartoon series.  Agent 000 of the International Sneaky Service utilizes all of the fun gadgets at his disposal to thwart enemy agents and fight crime.  To recreate the 60s cartoon character, you’ll definitely need a purple bucket hat and a grey trench coat.  You may have to cut a hole in the back of the coat to make sure everyone can see your furry tail.  To cap off the look, either don a squirrel mask under your hat, or forego the latex for a purple domino mask.
