Hal Seeger

Batfink is an animated television series, consisting of five-minute shorts, that first aired in September 1967. The 100-episode series was quickly created by Hal Seeger, starting in 1966, to parody the popular Batman and The Green Hornet television series which had premiered the same year.

The series starred Milton the Monster, a Frankenstein-looking monster with a flat-topped, seemingly hollow head which emitted various quantities of white steam or smoke based on his mood or situation. In the show also appear Fearless Fly, Flukey Luke, Stuffy Durma the Millionaire Hobo, Muggy-Doo Boy Fox and Penny Penguin. There were 26 episodes with three cartoon shorts each.
