WHAT WAS THE NAME GIVEN IN THE CANADIAN DUB OF THE 1980s ASTROBOY SERIES FOR THE CHARACTER KNOWN IN JAPAN AS HIGEOYAJI & AS MR. POMPOUS IN THE 1960s ENGLISH DUB? THE WIKIPEDIA ENTRY ON THIS SERIES CLAIMS THE NAME WAS DR. MCNUGGETT, BUT SOMEHOW THIS DOES NOT RING FAMILIAR WITH ME! IS THERE SOMEONE OUT THERE WHO CAN EITHER CORRECT OR CONFIRM THIS INFORMATION?!!! THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME & ATTENTION!

The has a Canadian member, & I do believe she mentioned the names of the characters on that version.

Anyway, try these threads:



This one does call him "Mr Morse" although this was from the French; there was a question of French being the same as French Canadian on this thread.

This thread



has him called "Max McNugget," I suppose that is closest to what you seek.

Thank you! I do recall Dr. Ochanomizu calling HigeOyaji "Max" in the episode "The Snow Leopard" which I once had on video tape! (I used to have copies of four Canadian dubbed episodes, but when I got the same episode in its official English dubbed version (which aired in the U.S., I recently verified, weekdays at 10:30 am in 1986 on what was then a local UHF Philadelphia station WTGI--channel 61), I taped over the Canadian version, not knowing what I had! Now I only have the two episodes (one complete; one 98% complete) that I kept in my collection! [Unfortunately they are very poor fourth or fifth generation dupes!] Any way, Thank You again!

You are welcome, ASTROBUDDY.
