Served as the sheriff of Hoop n Holler
The slow-moving Droop-a-Long Coyote served as his deputy – and his bullets moved slower as they leave a drooping gun
Catch phrase: “Ping-ping-PING! Ricochet Rabbit!” as he bounces off surfaces in the vicinity …. (thus not bing-bing-bing)
Droop-a-Long couldn’t ricochet as well, thus would end up crashing through a window
Ricochet used trick bullets on the bad guys
