Gossamer Jr. (aka Hair Monster) is a character that appears rarely on Tiny Toon Adventures and is based on the Looney Tunes classic Gossamer. He is a small red hairy monster who wears blue hi-tops (unlike his Looney Tunes counterpart/father, who wears black and white hi-tops).
Appearances[]
Gossamer Jr. (aka Hair Monster) is voiced by Frank Welker in the "Tiny Toons" episode, Cinemaniacs!. Maurice LaMarche voices the Looney Tunes Gossamer in Tiny Toons' Night Ghoulery.
Gossamer Jr. (aka Hair Monster) appears in the Season 1 episode, Cinemaniacs!, in the segment, Duck Trek (a parody of Star Trek). Here he appears on a planet that Plucky, as Captain Jim Quirk (parody of Jim Tiberius Kirk), Hamton, as Spork (parody of Spock), and Furrball, as Dr. Furr (parody of Dr. McCoy), land on in search of a toupee for Plucky. There are thick hairs on the planet (later revealed to be Telly Savalas' head after it had gone bald) that he comes out from behind and growls at them, which Hamton interprets as him being the ruler of the planet. Plucky tries to reason with him, but gets smashed by his large hand and they retreat. Gossamer chases after them on a giant electric razor, but it reaches the end of its cord and is unplugged, causing him to fall off and bounce around until he is knocked unconscious. Gossamer Jr. is credited at the end as "Hair Monster."
Gossamer Jr. makes a cameo appearance in the What Makes Toons Tick episode segment, Nothing to Sneeze at, as one of the closet monsters looking for work, and in the "Pinky and the Brain" episode "Star Warners".
He appears in Tiny Toons Looniversity as a student wearing red hi-tops.
Appearance outside of Tiny Toon Adventures[]
Gossamer Jr. makes a cameo appearance in the "Pinky and the Brain" episode "Star Warners", where he can be seen almost the same size as Egghead Junior.
Trivia[]
- Unlike his Looney Tunes counterpart, Gossamer Jr. has a different appearance. When he first appeared in the segment, Duck Trek, he had blue eyes and blue hi-tops although not as tall as his Looney Tunes counterpart since he can easily have enough space sitting on Plucky's head at the end of the episode, then in his second appearance he was a miniature version in the episode segment, Nothing to Sneeze At. Another miniature version of Gossamer makes a cameo appearance in the "Pinky and the Brain" episode "Star Warners", where he can be seen almost the same size as Egghead Junior.
