A character that I though was very successful from my childhood was probably this little purple dog right her. This character was memorable for his crazy expressions and unique purple coloring. Even though Courage is just a mutt that Murial picked up in an alley who was written off by Eustace as a "Stupid dog!" Courage still loved and helped his owners out of every... oddly disturbing situation they got themselves into. Whether it be the creepy gypsy "lady", the evil Katz, to the Weremole Courage got them all out of the danger and back to their house in The Middle of Nowhere. The most successful thing about Courage in my opinion is the art style of not just him just Courage's entire world is very creepy and surreal. Being a person who even as a child liked things more on the creepy side I really enjoyed the animation. Also the HUGE range of expressions Courage had to show his fear, determination, or that he simply used to try to warn Murial of the creepy crawly that he had just seen. The story in it's self was a tad confusing in some episodes but some of the characters like Katz would reappear so that tied their devious plans back into the story again. Though Courage is scared of what ever creature decided to terrorize the Middle of Nowhere he still got over his fear and saved his family. I think if my family was ever in true danger I would do the same as Courage. Of course I'm not a purple dog that can make insanely impossible expressions to get my point across, but deep down I think we all have a little Courage inside of us.
