Mr. Hitcher

Mr. Hitcher

Mr. Hitcher is a cartoon character from the Warner Bros. animated television series Tiny Toon Adventures. He is a minor antagonist and appears rarely on the show. Mr. Hitcher is a psychotic killer who escaped from the State Maximum Security Prison in the film How I Spent My Vacation. Hamton and his family pick him up on their vacation while he was hitchhiking much to Plucky's chagrin. He is described as a lanky man with straggly (long, black) hair and a pale complexion, wearing a dirty baseball cap, tattered overcoat and orange high-tops. He has a psychotic aversion to pork, and wields a chainsaw and hockey mask (baring resemblance to Jason from the Friday the 13th series). Mr. Hitcher makes numerous attempts with his chainsaw against Hamton, Hamton's family, Plucky, Buster and Babs in the film.

He appears in a few episodes such as the short Going Up, where he robs the Acme Mall and ties up the security guards. He enters the elevator to make his escape, but his plans come to a halt as Little Plucky is already inside and has control over the buttons. Plucky sends the elevator soaring up and down (as well as Mr. Hitcher) as he continuously hits the buttons, detaining Mr. Hitcher and gives the guards enough time to get freed and arrest Mr. Hitcher. However, he does get some sort of revenge which comes at the end of How I Spent My Vacation, where he chases after and terrorizes Plucky in the classroom on the first day back to school from vacation.
