When you find yourself trying to remember a show (or any works) that's on the tip of your tongue but just out of reach, come here - the collective brain of the TVTropes community can probably help. Post all the details you can remember (examples help). If you're looking for a trope, head over to Trope Finder. Have general questions about tropes? Visit Ask The Tropers!
Don't know if this is right, but outside chance it might be Dangermouse?
First off - never assume your memory is a total fabrication. You wouldn't believe how much stuff from way back simply doesn't hold up and gets forgotten. Tex Tinstar, that Ripley's Believe It or Not cartoon, Creepy Crawlies, Toonsylvania, etc.
That said, I'd say either Danger Mouse or Secret Squirrel (Secret pulled gadgets out from under his coat regularly, which may be what you're remembering vis a vis a compartment in his chest).
Wrestler, bodybuilder. No hopes, no dreams.This did get an answer, before the glitch that junked all the old replies, and it was something more obscure than either Danger Mouse or Secret Squirrel. I can't remember what, though.
It might be Courageous Cat and Minute Mouse.
I'd agree with Danger Mouse apart from the chest cavity, which is probably from somewhere else.
Trapped in 36 tabs.If the chest cavity is from something else, this "something else" could be Cat City / The Cat Trap.
"And as long as a sack of shit is not a good thing to be, chivalry will never die."It did get answered! It was Cat City, chest compartment and all. It certainly was obscure, and I have no idea what I was doing watching that as a four year old. It had slutty rats and guns and everything.
Then the "despite being wholly organic" was false, because I remember the hero taking photographs of a microfilm with a camera in his eye.
"And as long as a sack of shit is not a good thing to be, chivalry will never die."I did notice that too, because that triggered my memory when I saw it, but I think that must have been some kind of animation quirk because apart from that he appeared to be a perfectly normal, if outrageously competent James Bond parody. I was confused because he doesn't actually open up his chest, just a little pocket in the front of his t-shirt that makes it look like he is.
Ah, finally. I answered this originally with Cat City, but then for some reason it all disappeared, glad someone else answered it. by the way, he did seem to take pictures with his eyes (the film of which he later hidden in his chest compartment) so he seems to be at least partly bionic in a darth vader-sort-of-way
How Many Deadpools would Deadpool pool if Deadpool... ah forget itoh sorry, I now see that his has been mentioned just two replies above me. any of you perchance from hungary? (cat city is hungarian)
How Many Deadpools would Deadpool pool if Deadpool... ah forget itNo, it just happened to be shown someday on French TV.
Edited by Medinoc "And as long as a sack of shit is not a good thing to be, chivalry will never die."
A very hazy memory from my distant youth, so it could be a total fabrication, but it was an animated film, or possibly series, which featured an anthropomorphic mouse, who I think might have been some kind of noir-ish detective. The one distinguishing feature I recall is that he had some kind of compartment in his chest that he stored things in, possibly clues, despite being wholly organic. That's the part that stuck in my brain anyway. Was it all just some strange fever-dream?
