Between 1983 and 1984, Harrison/Erickson, Inc. explored a toy line and television concept for Gigglebugz. The television series would feature the Jitterbugs�Napoleon Bee, Venus Fly, Gunter Grasshopper, O. Zone Mosquito, Scarlet Ladybug, and Max Roach. In the Jitterbugs yearbook, Gunter is described as "brainy and physical" and a "terrific, but intense dancer" who "likes travel in spurts."
