 == Backstory ==
-After the [[United States of America]] entered World War 2, the federal government commissioned a line of morale-boosting cartoons that would be screened to serving troops to keep them in good spirits. Major studio [[Bernard Bros.]] took the contract, searching for toons who would have the patriotism and the nerve for the job. Jones made the final cut, cast as the mascot for the naval forces due to his aquatic nature and his extensive vocabulary of obscenities. The group was named the Toon Platoon, and would go on to make close to a hundred cartoons for the duration of the war, as well as a small number of live performances and goodwill tours. Jones made good friends with all his colleagues, especially [[Gremdolyn Fitzgiggle]] and [[Bomber Mustang]], who both served as mascots for the air force and would frequently co-star with Jones in cartoons set in the Pacific Theater.

 After the war's end Jones stayed on in Hollywood for several years, but eventually returned to Toon Town in 1955 after it became clear that his previous work was making it hard to land new roles. Flush with cash, he lived the high life for most of the 1950s, including a stormy on-again-off-again relationship with Fitzgiggle. After circumnavigating [[the Animation]] in 1959, he spent the 1960s living in [[the Disorient]].
