History Characters / TexAveryMGMCartoons

Wolfie made his debut in "Blitz Wolf" as an Adolf Hitler caricature, but it was in "Red Hot Riding Hood" that he became the womanizer with off-the-wall wild takes he was famous for being. Red herself was based on pin-up girls of the 1940's, and often would sing and perform in her appearances. Both characters frequently co-starred in cartoons with Droopy, with Wolfie usually being the antagonist. In cartoons of The '50s, he was replaced by a country bumpkin wolf who speaks with a Southern accent. In those cartoons with Droopy, he was still usually the antagonist, but without Droopy, he was a protagonist instead.

* ScrewballSquirrel: His debut cartoon is the TropeNamer.

* BewareTheNiceOnes: He's generally a good-natured little guy, but he does NOT take kindly to those who mess with his father. He's given [=McWolf=] (and other villains) quite a beatdown if they give Droopy a hard time.

* KidDetective: Several episodes and the spin-off ''WesternAnimation/DroopyMasterDetective'' depict him as one.
* MissingMom: His mother's identity has never been revealed.

* ShesGotLegs: And how!

* {{Gainaxing}}: Prevalent on Red's ample chest.

* ScrewballSquirrel: His debut cartoon is the TropeNamer.

* KilledOffForReal: He met his match with Lonesome Lenny in his final short of the same name, though, in which he was presumably crushed to death by the Of Mice And Men-inspired dog.

A tiny, very modest Basset Hound that was apparently a master of OffscreenTeleportation and TheCatCameBack, capable of great strength when roused to anger. Is quite a good samaritan, constantly doing good deeds, especially when it comes to catching criminal wolves. His voice sounds similar to that of H.G. Wells of all people. Possibly his best short is Northwest Hounded Police. Droopy cartoons continued to be made after Tex's departure from MGM, with Michael Lah as director.

->'''Voiced by''': ???

An insane squirrel that often picked on his antagonists for no reason other than because it was funny. His series was short lived because [[CreatorsPet Avery never cared for the character much.
