Capn' Andy (Andy Devine - the same guy who played Jingles in the Wild Bill Hickok series) called for Froggy the Gremlin and his magic twanger (how Freudian) on the old Buster Brown show. "I'm Buster Brown, I live in a shoe. That's my dog Tige, he lives there too." Devine was the second host of the show. The first was "Smilin'" Ed McConnell (or O'Connell - I can't remember which), who started on the show in radio and did the first year on TV. Buster Brown was played by some guy who also was one of the munchkins in the Wizard of Oz movie (the story of Oz Ref?). The Buster Brown character was created by the famous cartoonist, R.F. Outcault, who is also credited with creating the first comic strip ever, "The Yeller Kid", a blatantly racist anti-Asian character, for the old New York World.
As for Thor - here's an old joke. I apologize if it offends anyone.
The morning after a huge orgy in Asgaard, home of the Norse gods, one guy finally wakes up. He looks around, beats his chest and declares, "I'm Thor."
A girl next to him looks up and says, "You're thor? I'm tho thor I can hardly pith."
