Snorks was a comic book created by Belgian Nic Broca in 1982. "Snorks", the titular characters are a race of small, colorful, fictional beings that live in the underwater world of Snorkland. The comic was later adapted by Hanna-Barbera Productions into an American Saturday morning cartoon, which ran on NBC from 1984 to 1989. The cartoon was a mild success, compared to the popularity of Hanna-Barbera's The Smurfs (another adaptation from a Belgian comic).
The Snorks have snorkels on their heads, which are used to propel them swiftly through the water. When a Snork becomes excited his tube makes a "snork" sound. Like the Flintstones or the Smurfs, they have much of the same technology as humans, adapted to their own aquatic environment.
According to the Snork back-story, a few ventured to the surface in 1643, and watched a ship being attacked by pirates. The captain wound up in the water, and that was the first contact between the species. Since then, Snorks have adopted several human habits, such as wearing clothes.
For the third season (which premiered in syndication) in 1987, several changes were made to the series. The character, Dimmy Finster, was written out of the storylines, and three new characters were introduced: Corky (the Snork Patrol officer), and the series' new chief villains, Bigweed and his sidekick, Li'l Seaweed. Also, there are some episodes which take place on dry land, and the later episodes run in two parts.
