Secret Squirrel is a cartoon squirrel created by Hanna-Barbera. Secret Squirrel was one of two co-stars of The Atom Ant/Secret Squirrel Show, which debuted in 1965. He was given his own show in 1966, but was reunited with Atom Ant for one more season in 1967. Secret first appeared in a primetime animated special called The World of Atom Ant and Secret Squirrel, which aired on NBC on September 12, 1965.
The Secret Squirrel half-hours included three individual cartoon segments: "Secret Squirrel," "Squiddly Diddly," and "Winsome Witch."
Secret Squirrel's shorts were a parody of the then-popular spy genre, with most of his shorts' elements satirizing those of the James Bond films. Secret Squirrel was also known as "Agent 000".
Secret Squirrel served as a secret agent (his designation was "Agent 000"), taking orders from his superior Double-Q. Secret was assisted in his adventures by fez-wearing side-kick Morocco Mole. The pair fought crime and evil enemy agents using cunning and a variety of spy gadgets, including a machine gun cane, a collection of guns kept inside Secret's coat, and a variety of devices concealed in his hat (which he almost never removed).
Secret Squirrel's recurring arch-enemy is Yellow Pinkie who is a parody of Auric Goldfinger from Goldfinger and Kasper Gutman from the The Maltese Falcon. The last bunch of episodes introduced Hy-Spy, the master of scientific criminology.
