Doctorandus Anton Snorman is a fictional character from the animated show. He has a mansion, from which Dolf de Kraai robs jewelery. He gets his name and more character backstory in the Dutch book De Droom van Alfred Jodocus Kwak.

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.

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. Anton and Bas bonded over their mutual interest into minstrel Kukeleku who Bas had just discovered, but he had intimate knowledge of.

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.
