Sunday Morning Cartoon

Droopy-Dumb Hounded - 1943

Droopy is an animated cartoon character, an anthropomorphic dog (a basset hound), created by Tex Avery and produced by the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer cartoon studio in 1943. Essentially the polar opposite of Avery's other famous MGM character, the loud and wacky Screwy Squirrel, Droopy moved slowly and lethargically, spoke in a jowly monotone, and, though he didn't look like much, was shrewd enough to outwit his enemies. The character first appeared, nameless, in Avery's 1943 cartoon Dumb-hounded. Though he would not be called "Droopy" onscreen until his fifth cartoon, SeƱor Droopy (1949), the character was officially first labeled Happy Hound.
