Inches and Inches

I would also like to comment that the version of the series I saw featured Inch High in his green trench coat solving mysteries with the help of the girl and the boy. Finkerton was actually my favorite character on the show...I don't really know if it's because of the character's voice or because the character was funny, period, with his outbursts and rants about everything he didn't like about Inch High. The voice John Stephenson used for Finkerton is based on Joe Flynn's character on "McHale's Navy". He used this voice again on other cartoon's. INCH HIGH would feature him on the telephone in the opening sequence, dialing a number using his body, because his fingers were too small. So, I don't know the version that was previously written about when it was stated that Inch High could rise or shrink. The series I saw, Inch High was always an inch high. I saw the series for the first time on the USA Cartoon Express.
