Dingbat and the Creeps was a segment on the 1980 series Heathcliff and Dingbat. The show lasted for a single, thirteen episode season. Each half-hour episode contained two Heathcliff and two Dingbat and the Creeps segments.

In Dingbat and the Creeps, a trio of misfit monsters stayed financially afloat by finding work through their temp agency, Odd Jobs, Inc. Appropriately named, the oddball hires were unusual in more than just appearance. The group was led by a jack-o-lantern of all trades named Nobody. He was joined by the vampire dog Dingbat, who turned into a bat-sized version of himself in order to fly, and by the skeleton Sparerib, who had the ability to rearrange his bones into the form of almost any useful object, such as a floor lamp, bridge, or jackhammer.

More hindrance than help, disaster followed the Creeps wherever they went. It’s little wonder they never got a callback after finishing a job.
