Hopalong Cassidy

Hopalong Cassidy

Hopalong Cassidy or Hop-along Cassidy is a fictional cowboy hero created in 1904 by the author Clarence E. Mulford, who wrote a series of popular short stories and many novels based on the character. In his early writings, Mulford portrayed the character as rude, dangerous, and rough-talking. He had a wooden leg which caused him to walk with a little "hop", hence the nickname. From 1935, the character—as played by movie actor William Boyd in films adapted from Mulford's books—was transformed into a clean-cut, sarsaparilla-drinking hero. Sixty-six popular films appeared, only a few of which were loosely based on Mulford's stories.

    Does anyone remember a saying that began "If you're going to ride with Hoppy, you ..."? I remember my Mom admonishing me this way, but I was utterly clueless what she was trying to say, probably bc I had no idea who "Hoppy" was! I don't remember the rest of the expression. I think Mom finally explained that she was saying if you hang out with certain people, you have to accept the consequences of their actions. (I was in high school at the time, so ... yeah.) Can you help?
