There's no need to
fear: Underdog is here!"
Press release written by Suzanne Muldowney
Press release written by Suzanne Muldowney
The
date was October 3, 1964. On that day, the above outcry was
heard for the first time on national television as Underdog, a
cartoon comic equivalent of Superman.
There
were many great cartoon characters that were animal in form, but far
more human in behavior. Underdog was one of these. But his
creator, Joe Harris, went one step further: Underdog was a superhero,
possessing super strength, and expected to be a role model,
excelling in rescue missions, crime-fighting, and acts of
goodwill. Harris went another step further by making Underdog, like
Superman, an aerial superhero. Very few fictional superheroes
have the ability to fly.
The
heroic and aerial elements of Underdog were what appealed most to
Suzanne Muldowney. As a little girl, she sometimes watched the
vintage Superman TV series starring George Reeves. She tried
to fly under her own power without success. A few years later when
Underdog was up and about, Suzanne discovered that theatrical
dance movements created special effects within mortal
limitations. Underdog's flying could be simulated with big leaps,
turns on one foot, and lightweight running.
Thanksgiving
Day 1965 was the debut of a giant Underdog helium balloon in the
Macy's Day Parade. The balloon did not merely pass down the street,
but stopped in huge middle of the square while an involved
presentation was staged around its presence. The television cameras
showed it all as countless viewers, including Suzanne, watched
spellbound. This event was her calling to portray Underdog.
On
January 8, 1966, Suzanne danced as Underdog for the first
time. It was not a public performance, but a secluded one in her
bedroom. She did not use a dog headpiece or mask. She had seen in
photos that dancers portraying birds or animals frequently retained
their human faces, hairstyles, and bodylines.
Unfortunately,
the Underdog adventure stories were silly and campy. The plots were
simplistic and melodramatic. The dialogue was of children's
intelligence, the bad guys too easily entrapped the good guys, and
the whole scenario was simply not believable. These flaws made
Underdog less of by hero and role model and more of a slapstick
clown. (Many of these shortcomings were also prominent in the Batman
TV series starring Adam West.)
Suzanne's
family was very hard with her and subjected her to a multiplicity of
criticisms. Though meant for children, Underdog was worthless
unless it was geared more to the mentality of teens or adults. It
was not supposed to be for entertainment only. It had
to be intellectually challenging, a learning experience. To
concern oneself with fiction was wrong. Although they were
fictitious, the characters and stories had to be realistic enough
to pass for nonfiction.
Suzanne
had never known the word underdog, until she became acquainted
with the cartoon. She suffered more verbal battering by being
force-fed the word's dictionary meaning: born loser. If that
was what underdog meant, why had his creator given him that
name?
Having
been made to feel guilty and ashamed, Suzanne resolved that her
portrayals of Underdog would be more dignified and meritorious; she
reviewed the stories and made sensible changes where needed. But she
was unable to carry out these reforms because she was still only a
minor.
Discouraged
and under pressure to be interested in only the same things other
people her age were, Suzanne renounced the role of Underdog in 1968,
sensing herself to be a great failure.
The
Underdog character stopped running on network TV in 1969.
Some
time later, the show went into syndication, rerunning in different
parts of the country. Wherever Underdog reran, it perpetuated
all it's problematic and character flaws. Would the show suffer
further criticism and result in discouraging younger viewers?
It
was not until 1976, when Suzanne was educating herself on the real
life Dracula, Prince Vlad the Impaler, in order to portray him
through dance, that she came across a line in In search of Dracula
that grabbed her heart: "Van Helsing [Dracula's main
pursuer] is the hero of the story; Dracula himself is the Underdog."
Suzanne felt like she was being called back to portray Underdog.
There
was no suitable venue until 1980. Then, a science fiction convention
company called Creation Conventions was in Philadelphia for the
weekend and had newspaper advertising a costume contest. Suzanne knew
from experience that participants were encouraged to build
presentations around their characters and costumes.
Suzanne
had experience noting how from time to time performed were identified
with he characters they portrayed. Suzanne's objectives were to
impersonate Underdog through dance as often as possible with
seriousness, dignity, and realism so that she would become identified
with Underdog. Her first professional public appearance as Underdog
was on July 27, 1980.
For
her musical backup, Suzanne used recorded classical music not already
used for other themes or ideas. She still wore her hair loose to
crate the hound-dog ears illusion, and used no dog-face makeup.
Creation
Conventions mounted sci-fi conventions all over the country,
including a full-scale event during Thanksgiving weekend in New York.
The timing and the location were natural for Suzanne's Underdog
impersonations.
Beginning
in 1981, Suzanne hunted for sci-fi convention appearance
opportunities I'm different parts of the country. Some events were
staged by Creation Conventions, while others were staged by local
companies. Suzanne fostered a variety of characters and self-made
costumes.
In
1982, she read a book on the history of Saturday Morning TV and
relearned the date of Underdog's birth: October 3, 1964.
During
this time, there was no mention in the news of any other celebrated
Underdog impersonators. When Suzanne did Underdog, it was solely in
sci-fi conventions. In the costume contests, there were no other
Underdog entries. No magazines or newspapers wrote about Suzanne.
Since
Underdog had been "born" in 1964, 1984 would be the
20th anniversary. Suzanne was determined to make the most of
the occasion. She began making an additional cape decorated with
stars, lace, and fringe, based on the old-time animation in which
Underdog left a trail of stars in his wake while launching himself
skyward or flying at high speeds. When Underdog stood proudly erect
with his biceps flexed, he emanated light rays from his body. Suzanne
ushered in the 20th anniversary at Creation Conventions in New York
on January 8,1984.
Throughout
1984, Suzanne tried unsuccessfully to get TV networks, newspapers,
and magazines to celebrate Underdog's 20th anniversary. On the
actual anniversary date, October 3rd, Suzanne led the children in a
hometown Montessori school to write Underdog adventures and act them
out to music. Suzanne kept drawings and stories in a keepsake book
and made copies for the students who had participated.
At
the 1984 Thanksgiving weekend convention, Suzanne had a 20th
anniversary feature spot by modeling the costume with the special
decorated cape. A showing of one of the original cartoons followed
it, the story that had been her favorite. In the costume contest, she
won Best Presentation.
Suzanne
had trouble the next several years. This was the time of First Lady
Nancy Reagan's anti-drug campaign, with its slogan, "Just Say
No." Joe Harris, Underdog's creator, had decided he should be
subject to tiring and weakening, like any mortal, when exerting
himself. Some stories had shown Underdog sapped of his strength in
mid-crisis. To regain his strength in a hurry, he had to consume a
super-energy pill, which he concealed in his ring. Now with
the anti-drug campaign going, the claim was that Underdog's use of
the pill was tantamount to substance abuse/dependency. Word
also had it that Underdog was being rerun in the Washington DC area
and that the footage of his consuming the pill was being deleted.
Such cutting might have helped the campaign, but it left a gap in
continuity. When Suzanne appeared as Underdog, modeling her costume
and providing written commentary, the emcee digressed from the
script after mentioning the ring and pill, and made editorial
comments about Underdog's alleged substance abuse / dependency.
Insulted, Suzanne discontinued mention of those costume accessories.
In
1986, Suzanne came upon another venue, which treated her with more
respect than the conventions did. A New York based variety show,
Beyond Vaudeville, had an annual live show and a periodic
local TV show. Suzanne debuted as Underdog on April 30, 1986 and was
interviewed by celebrity emcee Danny Bonaduce.
In
1988, Suzanne started on another venue, which was to become her most
frequent performance mode: parades. She was in 6 or 7 parades
in 1988, but instead of underdog she did Supergirl, Superman's
equally powered but rarely spotlighted cousin, since 1988 was
Superman's Fiftieth (Golden) anniversary.
Also
in 1988, Suzanne set about asking a better quality decorated camps
for Underdog. When modeling the costume, she always opened the cape
like wings at mention of light and radiance emanating from the body.
The new cape had casings and rods, like the ribs in an umbrella at
the edges. She lavishly decorated the inside lining to create the
illusion of rays. She first wore the new cape at the Thanksgiving
convention. Both the emcee and spectators marveled when she opened
her cape. Alas, she won no prize!
Suzanne
was keenly aware that 1989 was Underdog's Twenty-Fifth (Silver)
Anniversary. Silver and golden anniversaries were considered
extra important by human kind. There just had to be a grand scale
acknowledgement of Underdog by the media in 1989!
Suzanne
ushered in the Silver Anniversary on January 8, 1989, in
Boston. She had some silver decorations on her suit and used the new
decorated cape. Her commentary for the emcee made sure to say that
this was the start of the 25th Anniversary. She won Third Prize in
the Costume Contest. This was in a half-page photo with the other
participants in the next day's Boston Herald.
Shortly
afterward, Suzanne bought silver metallic cloth to make
herself a spectacular 25th anniversary cape. It was maxi-length
either wooden rods, and lavishly decorated with white stars, white
lace, star shaped crystal jewels, and silver sequins. She also added
more silver decorations to the suit. She first wore the festive
Silver Anniversary costume on April 1, 1989 at the annual
Beyond Vaudeville live show in New York.
Since
she now had experience in parades, Suzanne’s
next goal was to do Underdog in them. On April 15th, 1989,
Suzanne accomplished her mission ad the Doodah Parade in Ocean City,
NJ.
Suzanne
was determined to go on a nationwide 25th anniversary tour. She sent
away for literature, which listed events in various states and
cities, hoping to find performance opportunities in distant locales.
She succeeded in visiting Baltimore, MD; Philadelphia, PA;
Pittsburgh, PA; Wilmington, DE; Atlantic City, NJ; El Cajon, CA;
Jacksonville, FL; Tampa, FL; and Providence, RI. She participated in
carnivals, block parties, and especially parades. Crowds admired her
costume and were especially thrilled to see the outspread cape.
But
none of the events was dedicated specifically to the 25th Anniversary
of Underdog. As often as she could, Suzanne had newspaper
photographers take pictures of her and print that she was Underdog.
Very few parade spectators realized that she was Underdog until they
asked her.
Shamefully,
the media gave Underdog and his 25th Anniversary no publicity
blitz. Instead they glorified Batman, whose 50th (golden)
Anniversary was also in 1989. Although the anniversary was not
mentioned, Batman was made to be a false god in conjunction with the
movie starring Michael Keaton and Jack Nicholson. With Batman being
put on top of the world, Underdog was hopelessly overshadowed. On
October 3, 1989, Underdog’s
25th anniversary date, went complete unacknowledged. Suzanne was not
scheduled for a performance that day.
When
the time came for the costume contest at the Thanksgiving convention,
Suzanne felt that Underdog deserved a prize. The Thanksgiving
convention was the biggest scale of Creation’s
year; winning in its costume contest meant honor and glory. This was
the 25th anniversary! Suzanne wore the silver cape; the emcee said,
“Wow, That’s
magnificent!” when she
opened it, the crowds cheered. But Suzanne won nothing! In
tears, she had an interview with some Beyond Vaudeville staff.
Not winning in such a significant contest during this year or all
years around makes Underdog and her less appreciated.
Her
last Silver Anniversary appearance was on the last day of 1989 in
Providence, RI. She was outside, wandering around craft booths, in
the cold rain. She had no head covering, and until the rain ceased at
8 PM, no one bothered to speak to her. A pathetically forgotten
character, ignored by the media, not interviewed by newspapers,
magazines, or TV, receiving no award for her deeds, and never finding
out if anyone else had being doing similar, Suzanne ended Underdog’s
Silver Anniversary year with a sense of total failure.
During
the next two years, Suzanne was more diverse with her costume and
themes. Although she stuck with Underdog for Christmas parades, it
was during this time, at a Beyond Vaudeville performance, that she
met Philippe DeJean, who was a remarkable artist and nicknamed
himself “Boy Genius”.
At
the beginning of 1992 came an association, which proved the blackest
in Suzanne’s career and
life. She revived a call to be on the Howard Stern TV show,
which she had never heard of. The caller said that Howard Stern was
well known on radio, but when Suzanne listened to radio, it
was strictly classical music. Howard Stern was a total stranger, what
kind of TV host was he? The caller said he was comical. Suzanne
bridled at the aspect of a comic host because she had been on local
TV in different parts of the country. Those hosts had been courteous
to her. The caller went on to say that Stern’s
show was national and very high rated; he had heard of Suzanne
through Beyond Vaudeville, but first Suzanne had to pass an
audition, set for two days later.
Suzanne
had to skip work to go to Secaucus, NJ, where the TV studio and the
audition were. There she met the show’s
producer and the booking agent who had phoned her. She passed her
(Underdog) audition, but then tried to talk with two of the staff
members about being treated courteously. Howard Stern himself was NOT
there. Unless he as there, how was he supposed to find out that
Suzanne was serious and not comic? The producer and booking agent did
not make any satisfactory answers. Suzanne was told to return
two days later to tape her episode.
Suzanne
had received the first call on a Monday. She had auditioned
two days later, on a Wednesday, and now she had to make the
show on Friday! This was so much within one week, without
Suzanne seeing an episode first, at home! What kind of show was this?
Suzanne was worried and suspicious when she returned to the studio.
At
the security gate, Suzanne questioned several guests-to-be. They only
said that Stern was “unpredictable”.
She questioned one of his assistants, named Gary (BaBaBooey). “You
can never tell what he’s
going to do,” Gary
said. These vague remarks offered no reassurance.
Suzanne
was directed to an upper room with a big window overlooking the
studio, revealing audience seats and Stern’s
dais. But there was also a sign with houser rules, one of which said
“GUESTS ARE NOT TO
TOUCH THEIR GENITALS.”
Genitals? What kind of rule was that?
Was
this a program for mature viewers only? When she laid eyes on Stern
for the first time, his long disarrays hair and dark glasses proved
all wrong for a talk show host. All other hosts Suzanne had faced had
been well dressed and groomed.
There
was one guest set before it would be Suzanne’s
turn. Her heart sank as she heard Stern make dirty jokes, vulgar
questions, and statements. Suzanne could not get word to any of the
staff or technicians that Stern should be respectful with her!
Suzanne was very apprehensive when her turn came. Stern makes
unflattering remarks about Underdog, adhering to the unfavorable
meaning in the dictionary. Suzanne insisted that her dancing made
Underdog a hero again, dignified and believable. But Stern only made
another vulgar remark, “ If
Underdog is supposed to be believable and realistic, he has to be
involved in adult matters and adult vices.”
Stern had shown no respect toward Suzanne, and had ruined both
Suzanne’s and
Underdog’s good names!
The
next day was Saturday, the day Stern’s
show aired. Suzanne was alarmed when the show opened with “The
Following program contains mature subject matter. Viewer discretion
is advised.” As the
show progressed, Suzanne was shocked at the almost-naked women
minions, the obscene jokes, the profane language, and Stern’s
distortion of subject matter into sexuality or battle of wits.
Suzanne
was deeply shaken that she had been on such a vile program master
minded by a profane, vulgar, and sexually explicit man. She had been
told that the show was one of the highest-rated in the country. But
the staff she had questioned had been evasive and had not told her
the whole truth about Stern and his program. They had pushed her into
making an episode without giving her the time and opportunity to
watch an episode at home. The program content was sheer pollution.
Suzanne was too ashamed and afraid to tell her family.
Once
Suzanne’s episode
aired, the storm broke. Her family complained of receiving strange
phone calls from strange men trying to reach Suzanne. Since her phone
number was unlisted, these callers had been contacting every
Muldowney in the phone book until they came upon her family. In the
days that followed, Suzanne’s
family castigated her for using her own name, being on an adult show,
and casting a bad reflection on the whole family. “You
haven’t become famous;
you’ve become
notorious.”
They refused to believe that she had known anything about Stern or
his program. They accused her of resorting to any means possible to
become famous. In their eyes and in light of her religious
upbringing, Suzanne had committed a grave sin.
Neither
did the public leave her alone. Both adults and children who had
never before acknowledged her presence now taunted her by calling her
names or by repeating obscene questions of statements uttered
originally by either Stern or and assistant. Some fanatics called her
evil or a bad influence. Some perverts even said that Stern was her
boyfriend, or that she had sex with him and was now pregnant.
Even
Howard Stern would not leave her alone. The booking agent called to
say that Stern was having a Hollywood Square episode and
wanted Suzanne as part of the giant tic-tac-toe grid. Suzanne was
suspicious, but the booking agent insisted that the other panelists
would be celebrities and morally straight.
When
Suzanne arrived on set, she had been taken again! The other panelists
exemplified the worst of human vices. Stern and the other panelists
exchanged vulgar talk and obscene questions. Suzanne was not spared
the verbal filth when Stern asked her about Underdog dancing or asked
a question. She was stuck with hearing the immoral conversations
among Stern, the contestants, and other panelists. She wanted to walk
out, but she had been put in the top row and a rollaway staircase
promptly removed so that she could not run away!
Even
this travesty of an appearance was onto the end. The booking agent
called Suzanne for a third time. Stern was having an
end-of-the-season awards episode like the Oscars, Emmys,
Grammys, and etc. Various outstanding guests had been nominated for
different awards. Suzanne had been nominated for Best Choreography!
However, Suzanne promptly refused. Stern had made a fool of her on
two counts; she now had many enemies. She would not come. Instead of
leaving it at that, the booking agent put Suzanne on hold. When the
agent came back, she said that Suzanne was compelled to come; all
award nominees were compelled to attend. Suzanne had said
no, but the agent had not taken no for an answer. Suzanne was
trapped into coming two days later.
At
the studio, Suzanne was taken to an empty room and told to wait.
There was a TV set there; Suzanne sat down to watch. Ultimately,
there was a commercial for the episode she was to make. Suzanne
jumped to her feet. The statues to be given, as awards were
pornographic! She ran out of the room and tried to escape from
the building. She was overtaken by two staff members and forced to
return.
Finally
she was taken to the awards room. The pornographic statues were
indeed for real. This was one award she was better off losing! But
she won an award for Best Choreography. Grimly, she mounted the
lectern. With fire in her eyes, she be can an equally fiery speech.
She was not accepting the award; being on Stern’s
show had proved a nightmare. She had now known the first thing about
Stern’s maneuvering all
discussions into vulgar talk, his profanity and sexual explicitness,
the immodestly dressed women, and the overall degeneracy. Next, she
emphasized that by this time, “The
Underdog cartoon series hasn’t
been shown in about 9 years.”
Millions of unsuspecting children [who had somehow tuned into
Howard Stern] were hearing of him for the first time. Because of
Howard, his assistants, the other guests, and their assorted antics
constituting what Howard, his assistants, the other guests, and their
assorted antics constituting what Howard termed ‘a
sea of debauchery’,
these impressionable youngsters were also hearing terms like
‘orgasm,’
‘Ku-Klux-Klan,’
‘homosexuality,’ and
‘lesbianism,’
for the first time. Now, the think Underdog is Howard’s
invention, and that the character and I are [R - or X-rated] lustful
cads! Suzanne had suffered many insults, teasings, and snubbings from
both acquaintances and strangers. She had been reprimanded at work
and had received a cut in pay. She had not been appreciated for being
on Stern’s show; she
had been castigated. Stern was responsible for the nature and content
of the program, as well as the after effects on its guests. It was an
evil program. She vowed never to return, flung the statue to
the floor and stormed out of the room. Outside, she screamed and
wailed in agony. She had been forced to make this episode against her
will; her suspicions and dreads had been justified.
Some
weeks later, Stern’s TV show was cancelled. Suzanne wondered if her
fire-and-brimstone speech influenced the decision. If she was in any
way responsible for the cancellation, she was never noticed or
officially credited.
Suzanne
also suffered a heartbreaking loss. An Underdog Fan Club,
headquartered within a 10-mile radius of Atlantic City, wrote her to
say it was disbanding. The members had seen the awards episode and
were offended that she had been on it. They asked, “How
could you possibly have accepted?”
They scolded her for not having known better that the event
and especially the awards had been rigged so that Stern’s
henchmen could trap her and set her up again. The club left no return
addresses so that Suzanne could contact the members and explain.
Ironically, they had not organized their club and informed her o its
existence until after her first Stern appearance. Now she was no
longer worthy of their support. She wept bitterly and sent a copy of
the letter to Stern. Other scoldings and denunciations had been
strictly verbal. Now, here was written document. Stern’s
minions expressed only a flippant regret. Stern himself remained
aloof.
Suzanne
continued to be scolded by people who insisted that her mandatory
appearance and the awards episode had been a setup for more
exploitation. They gave her no credit for refusing the award. They
refused to believe that she and said no only to be forced into
coming. They also bore down that as long as she had not been taken by
force from her home, she had willingly made the appearance.
For
many years afterward, Suzanne suffered. Two children’s
programs near her home were enthusiastic about her dancing but now
slammed the door in her face. People continued to tease her by
repeating vulgar questions or statements originally said by Stern or
an assistant. People would come to her after a performance pretending
to be appreciating but would end by teasing her. Once a British
couple accosted her to say that they had seen her on Stern’s
TV show and that the broadcast had been at home in the UK!
Visitors to her home knocked on her door and when she opened it,
yelled “We were right!
You are the one!” and
ran away. In 1994, she went to Atlanta as part of a 30th anniversary
tour, and a local magazine printed one of Stern’s
profane questions without her consent. Whole groups of people would
yell, “HOWARD STERN!”
with all their strength as Suzanne passed. Children’s
parade entries would be instructed by the adults in charge to yell
Stern’s name when she
came near. Groups of adults and children mixed, obviously families,
would harass Suzanne during parades. She would be stalked along
parade routes by hecklers who would strive to taunt her repeatedly.
Some extremists would throw stones or even explosive caps at her!
Even when her themes were not Underdog, she would still be
harassed. Five sites, which had previously welcomed her, now banished
her; two sites denied her the chance to debut. Three other sites she
left of her own accord. These discourtesies were just not at
performances; these everyday encounters persist even today.
Philippe
DeJean, who had met Suzanne in New York, learned about the unfaithful
fan club and formed another Underdog Fan Club, which featured an
occasional newsletter, with some of his friends in 1993.
On
June 15th, 1992, the original cartoon series began rerunning on cable
TV Nickelodeon. The next generation of children were being exposed to
him, but they h ad been misled by Stern and had trouble adjusting to
a different impression of the character. They were being exposed to
the ancient character and programmatic camp and buffoonery. Would
their families scold the children, like the way Suzanne had been for
supposedly admiring a slapstick clown? There was a Nickelodeon
program in which children discussed, among other things, TV shows
with a Ms. Linda Ellerbee, Suzanne wrote to Ms. Ellerbee so that she
could appear as Underdog and show the panel how her portrayals made
Underdog a better role-model. Her letter went unanswered.
Phillippe
starred in a Manhattan based TV show called The Checkerboard Kids.
He has had Suzanne appear on it from time to time, with assorted
topics. Suzanne toured wherever she could for Underdog’s
35th, 40th, and 45th anniversaries. Still, however, Underdog was not
made a target of media hype. It was not until the 35th anniversary
that Suzanne learned about Joe Harris He was scheduled to come to
Ocean City, NJ where Suzanne was doing Underdog in the Doodah Parade,
but he cancelled at the last minute.
In
2005, a movie was made about Suzanne’s
artistry and life, My Life as an Underdog. This documentary is
not available to the public due to copyright issues.
On
May 22, 2006, Suzanne was on the late-night Jimmy Kimmel Live.
Richard Brown of Beyond Vaudeville had relocated to the
West Coast and told Kimmel about Suzanne. Kimmel had Suzanne perform
her own invention, figure jogging, that made jogging and
running into a show sport; but he also requested she dress as
Underdog. Unlike Stern, Kimmel treated her with respect and created a
family friendly scenario!
In
2007, Underdog was made into a live-action movie starring a voiced
over live dog. The movie did not do the original character justice.
It was set in the present, not the 1960’s.
The central hero was still clumsy, campy, and childish. It pained
Suzanne to watch it. The moviemakers had not contacted her to be an
advisor, let alone the star.
This
year is Underdog’s fiftieth (Golden) anniversary. Friday,
October 3, 2014 marks 50 years to the day.
Suzanne
Muldowney ushered in the 50th anniversary at the Mummers Parade in
Philadelphia, PA on New Year’s
Day 2014. She finished fourth in the category of Most Original
Character.
Every
Underdog appearance she makes this year is in a special gold
decorated costume with a golden maxi-cape. Suzanne always does
Underdog twice a year at a Fourth of July Parade in
Haddenfield, NJ and any parades scheduled during Thanksgiving
weekend.
It
remains to be seen whether the media will build a publicity blitz,
in conjunction with the Underdog’s
Golden Anniversary before 2014 is over. Television might interview
viewers who were children in the 1960’s,
and viewers who were exposed to Underdog later through reruns or
packaged tapes. Suzanne would benefit doing Underdog in a
family-friendly setting, on national television. There should be an
all-out campaign to make Underdog the cartoon superhero into a more
dignified, meritorious role model than he was when he originally
premiered. These improvements would ameliorate Suzanne Muldowney’s
identity with Underdog.
