''Spiff and Hercules'' is the English translation of a French comic strip titled ''Pif et Hercule'', featuring an anthropomorphic brown-yellow dog ("Pif") and a black-white cat ("Hercule") who, despite being best friends, are constantly fighting in a friendship/hate relationship. The character of ''Pif'' was created by José Cabrero Arnal for the French Communist Party newspaper ''L'Humanité'' on March 28, 1948, and the cat ''Hercules'' was introduced two years later. The characters' nemesis is Krapulax, who despite his infant-like features always has a diabolical plot in store. The adventures of Pif also appeared in the British communist newspaper the ''Daily Worker'' (later ''The Morning Star'') until the mid-1970s. Spiff later got his own magazine (''Pif Gadget''), which was very popular as not only did it include several different comic strips, but offered a toy gadget in each issue. He was also the magazine's mascot. Hercules also got his own version of Spiff's magazine, this one called ''Super Hercule'', but his magazine was more joke-oriented. A series of 65 26-minute animated cartoons featuring the characters was produced in 1989 by Europe Images/M5 in France. Each program consisted of two episodes. United Kingdom television station Channel 4 aired the series in 1993. ==Animated Series== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Spiff and Hercules」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
