Who is Korky the Cat?

Korky from the 50's Korky the Cat is an anthropomorphic feline. Originally mute, this cat likes nothing more than to catch a nice big fish in Dandytown's local waterways. But a gamekeeper often foiled his attempts. He'd also sometimes try various jobs, such as hairdressing (he once offered to give a Beatles style boy band haircuts, and shaved them bald!) and window cleaning, among others. Before long, three nephews appeared, Nip , Lip and Rrip . Korky would often have trouble from these three kits. Often, he'll have to chase away mice who raid his larder. However, more recently, he's counted one mouse, named Squeak, as a friend.
