Dr. Von Goosewing: Difference between revisions

Line 16:

Von Goosewing wears an outfit similar to that of Sherlock Holmes, with a pair of spats and spectacles. He often resides and flies a dirigible with "VG" on it, though on occasion is seen living in other places, such as a cave, a mountainside, or even his own house in '[[Incredible Shrinking Duck|The Incredible Shrinking Duck]]'. The symbol on his dirigible resembles [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danger_Mouse_(1981_TV_series) Danger Mouse]'s badge from ''Danger Mouse'' (1981), another British animated television series produced by Cosgrove Hall Films for Thames Television.

He is a terrible scientist, often getting injured by his own inventions. When not inventing some new machine or contraption with which to hunt vampires, he relies on an old-fashioned blunderbuss, which is loaded with a wooden stake (although, curiously, it will sometimes fire laser beams). Here and there he does manage to make an invention that works, but is never successful with its execution.

Von Goosewing appears to have (or have had) an assistant named [[Heinrich]], who never appears in the show. There are two common theories for why this is -- one being that he is a figment of Von Goosewing's imagination, and the other being that Heinrich is a former assistant that quit without Von Goosewing noticing.

He speaks in a German accent, often throwing in a basic word or two in German, such as saying “ein” instead of “a”. Von Goosewing pronounces “vampire” as “wampire”, and he sometimes structures his English sentences with the verb at the end, the way they might be structured if they were spoken in German:

“I have for myself a wampire-blaster created.”

He frequently exclaims things in German. They are never really sentences, but rather a handful of different things:
