Based very loosely on the services and actions of the carrier pigeon’s in the First World War Dastardly and Muttley in Their Flying Machines or just Dastardly and Muttley (or even Stop the Pigeon) was a very popular cartoon in the 1970s. The basic premise seems to be that Dick Dastardly and his dreaded Vulture squadron are working for the Germans and they must try and stop Yankee Doodle Pigeon, who sounds very North American, from delivering his secret messages from the spies or the troops at the front.  They fail at this miserably and spectacularly. Rather than use a pigeon if you have a package that you need to get to a location as soon as possible then the Same day Courier Service like will be able to arrange that for you without any unwanted attention from these two schemers.
