While Volume 1 focuses mostly on the Panther and "The Little Man" (the bald character he usually torments), it also introduces The Ant and the Aardvark . These characters became so popular they eventually got their own spin-off series (which are included in later volumes of this collection).
Critical Appraisal
: The Pink Panther was originally created by Friz Freleng and Hawley Pratt just for the opening credits of Blake Edwards' 1963 film, The Pink Panther .
