Production notes

The second segment of Heathcliff and Dingbat is called Dingbat and the Creeps. It's about a vampire dog named Dingbat, a skeleton named Spare Rib, and a jack-o-lantern named Nobody. Dingbat has all the powers that a vampire has, even the ability to change into a bat, but he is stupid, hence his name. Spare Rib can re-arrange his bones into any shape to come in handy. And Nobody carries an assortment of items inside him, plus he's the smartest of the group. The trio drives around on a motorcycle with a mini-haunted house. To drive fast, a stormcloud appears over them and flashes lightning. The trio always look for jobs, but always foul things up. In this episode, the group tries out for a football game.
