Peter Peachfuzz

Peter Peachfuzz

Capt. Peter “Wrong Way” Peachfuzz was a supporting character on the animated television programs "Rocky and His Friends" and "The Bullwinkle Show", now known collectively as "The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show". He made his debut in Jet Fuel Formula, the first Rocky & Bullwinkle story arc, originally broadcast late 1959-early 1960.

According to the narration of "Jet Fuel Formula", Peachfuzz was, from his youngest days, an incompetent sailor. As a child, even his toy boats sank. At the age of 18 he joined the navy. He was awarded numerous medals, all of which were donated by the enemy. Sailing the wrong way through the Panama Canal and becoming the only captain of an icebreaker in the South Seas earned him the nickname "Wrong Way" (an allusion to the American pilot Douglas "Wrong Way" Corrigan). After receiving a large inheritance from an aunt he purchased and took command of the S.S. Andalusia ("Athabaska" in some shorts). His crew considered mutiny but decided rather to install a dummy control room, so that Peachfuzz would think he was in command, while the crew actually controlled the ship from another location. In another episode Peachfuzz tries to dive overboard to help Rocky save Bullwinkle, but being Peachfuzz he only succeeds in diving "up" and back onto the ship. Another example of his more than usual incompetence is whenhe becomes a Spymaster and tries to confiscate telephone books(because they list his name and telephone number); sets up dozens of pairs of spies (who "only" spy on each other!); and attacks the Supreme Court Building (thinking they're enemy agents). At the end he is reassigned to a Bureau for someone of his "competence" - the Weather Bureau.

Peachfuzz's voice was provided by "Disney Legend" Paul Frees. He originally spoke with a high-pitched squawk reminiscent of a stereotypical cartoon parrot. However, audiences are perhaps more familiar with his later voice, which was based on that of Ed Wynn.

In addition to appearing in several Rocky & Bullwinkle story arcs, Peachfuzz also appeared in the supporting feature "The Rocky and Bullwinkle Fan Club."
