Oh shit, I always thought it was a fictional name that the writers used for the random stuff that come up during the writing process. Didn't know it was a real person!

Holy shit, he created Toonces!

Handey is also credited with creating Toonces the Driving Cat, the cat who could drive a car, although not very well.

SNL had a bunch of absolutely legendary writers. Jim Downey is another one
