      I’d argue that it’s more of a Snidely Whiplash sort of situation. One of them is going to be tied to the rails and railed.

          Dudley DoRight cartoons were popular in the mid-60s, and featured Dudley as the Royal Canadian Mounty, the beautiful sweet Nell, and villain Snidely Whiplash. Snidely was always kidnapping Nell and tying her the train tracks for some reason. It was pretty much the same plot in every episode.

          They may have been from the same studio as Rocky And Bullwinkle.

          Rocky & Bullwinkle looks like it was in regular syndication in pretty much every decade as late as the mid 2000s, so I guess as long as you were a kid during one of those times (or during the original run in the 50s and 60s), you could’ve been familiar with Snidely.

            I know of ‘R&B’ via video games that were made in the nineties.

            Apparently also comic books were made in the eighties, ending idk when, then from 2013 to 2014 and 2017 to 2020. Plus there was an animated reboot ‘The Mr. Peabody & Sherman Show’ on Netflix in 2015-2017, and another one ‘The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle’ on Amazon in 2018.
