Wacky Races (Hanna-Barbera)

Dress up as Dick Dastardly and Muttley

Dick Dastardly is the villain of the cartoon but also happens to be the source of most of the funny scenes in the show. This is the perfect funny costume for you and your canine friend

PS. Muttley’s laugh is absolutely infectious!

	Curly Mustache What defines Dick Dastardly the most is his thin curly mustache. This one fits the bill best!
	Red Aviator Hat He wears 2 kinds of hats – one a red aviator hat quite like the one his sidekick, Muttley wears. This one is such a great piece and you can use it again next time for another costume or for something steampunk-inspired
	Oversized hat The other hat is a lot more difficult to create. You can get yourself an oversized clown hat like this one, which conveniently has a red brim, and then with some construction paper stick alternating purple and red vertical stripes on top of the currently rainbow palette
	Trench coat You want a trench coat in a blue – purple hue. I chose this one because it’s quite long, just like Dick Dastardly’s coat. People have also used this coat to dress up as the Joker (costume recycling tip!) Underneath the trench coat, a simple tee and black slim pants should do the trick
	Dick Dastardly Costume Set Amazon has a Dick Dastardly costume set already which looks pretty decent on the photo and even has a “Dastardly and Muttley” label on the coat! You may want to consider this one, though nobody has reviewed it as of yet
	Red Gloves In the photo, you’ll see that Dick’s red gloves are huge and not very tight-fit, so a pair of rubber gloves would provide that chunky look
	Muttley Dog Costume Optional: If you have a canine friend, then you can dress him up in an aviator hat and scarf ensemble and he’ll be your Muttley!
	Muttley Funko Toy Optional: If you don’t have a canine friend, then you can bring along a toy replica of Muttley for added effect
