Origin[]
Burlap-Bones is a canine detective. Burlap made a one-panel appearance in the 1930 story Mr Slicker and the Egg Robbers. He appeared in the strip that was originally released on November 12th, 1930. He presumably lives near Mouseton, Calisota. In 1930, he was asked to solve the case of a major bank robbery which had occurred in Mouseton. With the help of Watson, he attempted to find the ones who had committed the crime. He doesn't seem to have gotten very far in his investigation; he found the bank where the crime was committed but struggled to even find the bank vault! Ultimately, the mystery Burlap-Bones was supposed to solve was solved by Mickey Mouse instead.

Notes[]
- Burlap Bones is Public Domain due to a lack of renewal for November 12th, 1930 and strips beyond Jan 13-18 published in 1930.
- Down to his possession of an assistant called Watson, Burlap-Bones is, of course, a parody of Sherlock Holmes.
