Snooper and Blabber is one of the sequences from The Quick Draw McGraw Show (produced by Hanna-Barbera, between 1959 and 1962).

Snooper and Blabber form a pair of cat and mouse detectives, respectively. Daws Butler voiced both characters although the first four episodes feature a different actor as Blabber. It has been established that Elliot Field originally voiced Blabber Mouse.Michael Maltese crafted the stories. The characters have appeared in other Hanna-Barbera cartoons, including Scooby's All-Star Laff-A-Lympics and Yogi's Treasure Hunt.

Super Snooper is more or less the one in command whenever the pair takes on a case while Blabber Mouse (a play on “blabbermouth”. Not to be confused with the Merrie Melodies character Little Blabbermouse) follows whatever orders Snooper gives him. Snooper's voice was patterned after Ed Gardner's Archie on the 1940s radio show Duffy's Tavern. Blabber speaks with a lisp, hence he calls his senior partner "Shnooper." It was one of the rare shows that paired a cat and mouse together that were in no way enemies. Also, Snooper makes frequent contact with his agent Hazel who is never shown, but is revealed to have a Parakeet as a pet.

Some of the pair's cartoons featured early versions of other Hanna-Barbera characters, such as Snagglepuss and Hardy Har Har.

Snooper and Blabber starred in the following seven-minute cartoons on The Quick Draw McGraw Show:
