SLOWPOKE RODRIGUEZ
'Slowpoke Rodríguez' is a fictional animated cartoon mouse, part of the Looney Tunes' cast. His voice was provided by an uncredited Tom Holland and is by Frank Welker. He is described as "the slowest mouse in all Mexico" from the country side of Mexico, and cousin to Speedy Gonzales, who is known as the fastest. However, he mentions to his cousin that while he is slow in the feet, he's not slow in "la cabeza", he speaks in a monotone voice and seems to never be surprised by anything, since he is tha slowest mouse in all of Mexico he was shown to have certain other (more extreme) methods of protecting himself.
Slowpoke only appeared in two cartoons alongside his cousin. The first, "Mexicali Shmoes" (1959), ends with two lazy cats, Jose and Manuel, learning the hard way that Slowpoke carries a gun (though the gun bit has been edited out of this cartoon in recent years). The second, "Mexican Boarders" (1962), revolves around Speedy trying to protect Slowpoke from Sylvester the cat, but in the end, Slowpoke demonstrates his ability to hypnotize Sylvester into becoming his slave. This short (which was later edited into '') contains a possible allusion to a marijuana habit when Slowpoke sings ''La Cucaracha''.
English Translation of what 'Slowpoke Rodríguez' says:
''"The roach, the roach, can't walk any more, because it needs, because it needs, marijuana to smoke"''
