Hector Heathcote Disc 3 - Similar idea as Peabody and Sherman

Hector started out as a scientist who invented a time machine to take him back to America's War for Independence. Unlike Peabody, who flitted from one event to another, Hector mostly stayed when he landed and made the Revolution his usual setting, continuing to use "The Minute and a Half Man" as a subtitle. He built the boat that enabled Washington to cross the Delaware, prepared the horse to enable Paul Revere to make his famous ride, and was similarly instrumental in setting the stage for any number of other notable events. Somehow, tho, posterity neglected to note his many pivotal roles, and he remained unknown to students of history — except, of course, those who saw his cartoons.

Hector's creation is attributed to writer Eli Bauer, whose credits also include 1960s cartoons from Famous Studios and MGM. The director was Dave Tendlar, a veteran animator whose work went back to the Max Fleischer days. His voice was done by John Myhers, who had many live-action credits as an actor, writer, producer and director, but did very little other voice work.
