However, there could be a category for "randomly selected characters from cartoons or other media that you probably never heard about". In any case, this guy fits this category well.
This is Plu, the raccoon from Lex and Plu: Space Taxi Drivers. In fact, there is only one driver - Lex (he's a fox, by the way), and Plu is his navigator and mechanic. Together with their dispatcher, Trisha (who is also a fox, Lex's sister and the one I should probably pay attention to as well) and Greg (a blue-footed booby and, uh, manager? assistant?), they work in their own taxi service and have both routine and adventure at their job, while competing with another, larger taxi service, one of whose drivers is a cat named Darko who is Lex's rival. Darko often plays dirty, so I think capturing Lex's navigator and locking him up somewhere, leaving Lex to waste a lot of time looking for his friend, would be something in his style.
Yeah, i couldn't decide which gag looks better.
Speaking a few more words about cartoon itself, it's a good kids show with nice, clean and simple character design, nice flash-style animation and slightly underdeveloped world; "space" in this show is basically some sort of "ether" with big planets and asteroids that looks like chunks of land where you can put a house, diner or bus stop, and where characters don't even need space suits and can breath freely, and it all look pretty nice; at the same time, vehicles in this show look way too regular - in a cartoon with such kind of world you'd rather expect to see something like flying Delorean, something futuristic, so regular cars that somehow fly in space look rather strange here.
Plu is a nice character, by the way. Slightly remind me Tails, but more calm.

And i basically wrote a small review for a cartoon under the picture of someone tied up. Now that's a real oddity here.
