Bucky O'Hare was originally a graphic novel released in the mid-1980's, before becoming a TV show in 1992. The storyline followed a parallel universe (The Aniverse) set in the 33rd Century. There is a vast war between the incredibly small United Animals Coalition (run by mammals) and the sinister Toad Empire. The Toad Empire is led by a vast computer system known as KOMPLEX, resembling Adolf Hitler in many ways.
