So does anyone here remember a cartoon called Lil Elvis Jones and the Truckstoppers?

For those of you not in the know, Lil Elvis was left on his parents doorstep in a guitar case as a baby. His parents believe he is the son of Elvis Presley, Lil Elvis isn’t so sure of that and every episode he speculates a different origin.

Thing is, this drove me absolutely mad as a kid because I thought it was obvious who the real father was: W. C. Moore. AKA the villain of the show.

My proof? 1. The parents saw a “Cadillac of golden light” driving off after dumping the baby (see top left). Now compare to W. C. Moore’s personal limo (see top right). 2. Both Lil Elvis (see middle pic) and W. C. Moore (see bottom pic) possess side burns. Also W. C. Moore’ hair is a reddish brown.

In fact I distinctly remember the big reveal occurring during their big epic marble battle - it makes sense in context, I swear - in the finale. A big reveal that, after spending years hunting down the DVDs and rewatching the show, I discovered apparently never happened.

In fact they never actually reveal the truth about just where Lil Elvis came from. And it pissed my little kid-self off so much that she imagined her own Big Reveal and convinced herself that it had actually happened. Go figure.

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the best children's cartoon Australia ever had. I did not miss a single episode of this.
