Production notes

This series featured a wisecracking lion and his pal, a laughing hyena who rarely smiled, let alone laughed. Their misadventures typically circled around Lippy's hair-brained schemes, which always got Hardy into hot water.

This show was originally broadcast on the "The Hanna-Barbera New Cartoon Series."

Lippy's sidekick, Hardy Har Har (a hyena who wouldn't laugh), appeared previously on Hanna-Barbera's Snooper and Blabber series.
