Puce as a colour....

| The phrase "Heavens to Murgatroyd!" didn't originate with the
Hanna-Barbera cartoon character Snagglepuss. I have no idea when
it was first used, but it definitely pre-dates its cartoon use.

| I think it originated with Hugh Herbert. Early film and Vaudeville
comedian. At least that's who I picture when I think about it.
Or was it Ed Winn?... . . . . .

| I thought it was used by Spike Milligan in the British radio
program(me) "The Goon Show" in the 1950s.
