for theatrical cartoon shorts produced by the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer cartoon studio. Essentially the polar opposite of Avery's other MGM character, the loud and wacky Screwy Squirrel, Droopy moves slowly and lethargically, speaks in a jowly monotone voice, and—though hardly an imposing character—is shrewd enough to outwit his enemies. When finally roused to anger, often by a bad guy laughing heartily at him, Droopy is capable of beating adversaries many times his size with a comical thrashing. The character first appeared, nameless, in Avery's 1943 cartoon '' Dumb-Hounded''. Though he was not called "Droopy" onscreen until his fifth cartoon, ''Señor Droopy'' (1949), the character was already named "Droopy" in model sheets for his first cartoon. He was officially first labeled "Happy Hound", a name used in the character's appearances in ''

Avery had used a similar gag in his '' Merrie Melodies'' short '' Tortoise Beats Hare'' (1941) starring

in Avery's 1945 short '' Jerky Turkey''. One of Droopy's more surprising traits is his incredible strength, given his diminutive stature and unassuming looks and personality, but this was usually reserved for when he was upset (with a few rare exceptions, where he very easily moved his adversary without harming him), at which time he would say in a monotone voice "You know what? That makes me mad" prior to thrashing the hapless villain of the piece. One such occasion was in ''Señor Droopy'', where he did this to a bull. It happened again in ''One Droopy Knight'', where a dragon was Droopy's victim. In the second case, he also broke the dragon's tail off and knocked him very far away with it like a baseball bat (apparently, it regenerated like a lizard's tail, given the unharmed dragon later became Droopy's servant/pet). This was also once done by a baby version of Droopy in the Western-themed short ''Homesteader Droopy''. One example of Droopy showing his strength without being provoked was in ''The Chump Champ'' in which Spike (as "Gorgeous Gorillawitz") stuffs an anvil in a speed bag. Droopy easily punches the bag several times but when Spike takes a swipe at it, half of him shatters to the ground. Another

that occurred during many of Droopy's cartoons was whenever Droopy's adversaries chopped down a tree. As the tree started coming down and was about to crush the unsuspecting Droopy, the adversary would run far the opposite way, point to the sky, and shout, "TIM.....". Then, in a moment of surprise, the tree would change direction and end up crushing the adversary instead and he would finish by saying, ".....ber" while still pointing to the sky with a look of confusion on his face. In most of his cartoons, Droopy matches wits with either a slick anthropomorphic

Later appearances

In 1980, Filmation produced a series of lower-budget Droopy shorts for television as part of its ''Tom and Jerry'' TV series '' The Tom and Jerry Comedy Show''. In the 1990s

series '' Tom & Jerry Kids'', Droopy had a young son named Dripple (voiced by Charlie Adler), an older version of the infant we see in ''Homesteader Droopy''. The mild success of the show provided perhaps the most Droopy merchandise: plush toys, gummy snacks, figurines, etc. In 1993, ''Tom & Jerry Kids'' had a spin-off series, '' Droopy, Master Detective'', which cast Droopy and son as film noir style detectives. Droopy also had cameos in two theatrical features: as an elevator operator in ''

Droopy also appears in the 2006 cartoon series '' Tom and Jerry Tales'', and has appeared in almost every ''Tom and Jerry'' direct-to-video movie, beginning with '' Tom and Jerry: The Magic Ring'', either as an ally or an enemy. Droopy appeared on various

specials and bumpers throughout the 1990s. When the network launched on October 1, 1992, Droopy was the host of the special "Droopy's Guide to the Cartoon Network", which served as an orientation for the new channel. In 1997, Droopy appeared in the faux cartoon blooper reel bumper ''Bloopers of the Cartoon Stars''. Here, he says his signature line "I'm so happy" while actually smiling. In June 1999, Droopy appeared in a Cartoon Network short entitled ''Thanks a Latté'', in which he works at a coffee shop and forces a stingy wolf into giving him a tip. In said short, the character is depicted with a bald head and was voiced by Jeff Bergman. The short aired on Cartoon Network's sister channel
