In the cel-animated version, Mr. Bogus is a yellow

known on the show as Dirt Dudes.

Clay animated version

The clay-animated version is a series of shorts that are localized versions of several episodes of the 1987 French / Belgian series of shorts simply titled Bogus, and served as lead-ins to commercial breaks. They were originally produced by Antenne 2, Y.C. Aligator Film and Chin Chin Production, and were created by Michel Durieux and Ghislain Honoré. They were first aired on October 30, 1987, and reran from October 2, 1988 to February 1990. There were 300 episodes created, but only 42 were localized and used in the 42 episodes of the cel-animated version.^[3]

In the original 1987 plot, the male house owner was awakened by his alarm clock, drank coffee, took his keys, and left for work. But during his absence, the house wasn't alone. Bogus, a funny little yellow character, then emerged from his hiding place and had short and fun adventures with surrounding objects. As Bogus clumsily discovered the world around him in different rooms of the house (such as the bathroom and the attic), he always provoked laughter from viewers.^[3]

In the 1991 localized version, the original voice-acting and background music were changed to Cam Clarke's voice-acting and the instrumental version of the cel-animated version's opening theme respectively.
