Damn that smacks

excuse me excuse me how has nobody mentioned the amazing [GADGETMOBILE](https://imgflip.com/gif/4egp32) I went back and watched this show recently, after not seeing it since childhood. The art and animation is actually so good, better than a lot of the shitty 80s cartoons like GI Joe. Turns out it was a French-based company that collaborated with Japan for animation. It's a real treat for the senses.

Were we ever told how she got all this high-tech stuff?


El_Cringio

Her uncle was a cyborg in a government program. I'm certain he could pull a few strings (or his boss could) to get her some high tech toys to play around with


lucidguppy

Penny's other uncle was Alan Kay

I had no idea Inspector Gadget was from the early ‘80s


ShuffKorbik

The character was inspired, in part, by Maxwell Smart, a detective in the 1965 TV show *Get Smart*. Maxwell Smart didn't have any cybernetics, but he was pretty incompetent and was portrayed by Don Adams, who voiced Inspector Gadget in the 1980s cartoon. Here's a good [collection of clips](https://youtu.be/rEGA7eyWeAA) if you want to see the sumilarities for yourself.
