Droopy Dog was a low-key animated movie character created by Tex Avery for the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer cartoon studio in 1943—essentially the polar opposite of his other famous MGM character, the loud and whacky Screwy Squirrel. Originally known as Happy Hound until 1949, this mournful Basset hound spoke in a jowly monotone and, though he didn't look like much, was shrewd enough to outwit his enemies—the conniving Butch the Irish bulldog and the thieving, nasty wolf (not the Jubalio wolf, although Droopy and several of his lookalike relatives faced him too, in Three Little Pups and Blackboard Jumble). Avery had used this same gag in 1941 on his Tortoise Beats Hare short for Warner Bros. In fact, this film shows that early ideas about Droopy's personality were already germinating, as that film's Cecil Turtle is very similar in character to Droopy.
