They first appear in the episode "No Sax Please, We're Egyptian!".
Appearance
Dmitri is a green bat with a yellow bow tie and a yellow hat and Sviatislav is a dark blue bat with a green hat, a thick, white moustache and a yellow scarf. Usually, their appearance is very brief with just enough time for a quick joke, and this is shown in their first appearance, where Dmitri asks Sviatislav: "What are they calling a pyramid with windows in it?" The answer is "A tomb with a view!"
Trivia
- The names "Dmitri" and "Sviatislav" are of Slavic origin.
- A cuckoo clock is a typically pendulum-regulated clock that strikes the hours with a sound like a common cuckoo's call. Cuckoo clocks usually have automated cuckoo birds, in this case two bats, that move with each note.
- The name "Sviatislav" is spelled differently according to different sources. For instance, in the 1990 annual it is spelled "Sviatislav" while in the joke book it is spelled "Sviatoslav".
