Doctorandus Anton Snorman is a fictional character from the animated show. He has a mansion, from which Dolf de Kraai robs jewelery[3]. He gets his name and more character backstory in the Dutch book De Droom van Alfred Jodocus Kwak. He's also referred to as Snorremans (lit. "Moustache guy")[4], or de heer des huizes (lit. "the master of the house")[5].

Appearance

He looks like an orange cat with a big dark brown moustache and a dark brown beard goatee. His nose is large and pink and he has a furry striped tail. In his one appearance in the animated series he wears a thick purple night gown or bath robe with a sleeping cap, as well as a yellow scarf with brown spots, likely something he put on because he was going outside to check on the noise.[3]

Personality

Storyline

Anton Snorman is a cat born in nobility, who got his doctorandus degree studying dramaturgy in Waterslag aan Zee with a minor in literature. His interest in literature is what interested Meester Bas Buldog, the primary school teacher from Polderstad, to visit Anton in his Anton Snorman's mansion in Polderstad-West, after previously having met him on the Vorige Burgemeesterplantsoen.[6] Anton and Bas bonded over their mutual interest into minstrel Kukeleku who Bas had just discovered, but he had intimate knowledge of.[7]

His mansion is filled with antiques that require a lot of maintenance, causing Anton to need to fire his mansion staff and needing to find a free-lance job in directing voice-overs for an advertising agency. One of the people from the street that he uses the voice of for Nijlrok Hap-in-slik-door is Krab Nagel. Usually Krab Nagel comes scrounging for food and it takes a whole day to get the proper lines out of him.

Anton Snorman's girlfriend

Anton also has a girlfriend, a (according to him) beautiful Angora cat with whom he has a long-distance relationship. She sings in a commercial catchoir. One of their weekly meetings was reason to prematurely kick out Bas Buldog out of his house.[8]
