DROOPY!
(Wahaha, I've finally found you)

For years, I've argued with Mich. I told her about this dog called droopy, and how he has this son called dribble and they appeared in this animaniac-ish cartoon which btw is called Tom and Jerry Kids. Lol. She claims that he is merely a figment of my imagincation. Hmph. She even bought me a soft toy dog called Doky, cos Droopy isn't real, or so it seemed.

And here he is in this full.. ahem.. naked glory. Yup. He's real. Yay.

Here's some background info (essential snippets) from the ever-powerful all knowing Wikipedia:

Droopy Dog was a low-key animated movie character created by Tex Avery at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer in 1943—essentially the polar opposite of his other famous character, loud, 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).

What made the character even more hilarious is his incredible strength, given his dimunitive stature and unassuming looks and personality, but only when he was upset, and then he would monotone, "You know what? That makes me mad." prior to tossing the hapless villain of the piece over his head many times.

n the 1990s Hanna-Barbera offering Tom & Jerry Kids, Droopy had a young son named Dripple—possibly an older version of the infant we see in Homesteader Droopy. Droopy also has a cameo in the manga and anime Dragon Ball, by Akira Toriyama, as the Abbot of the Buddhist Monastery that hosts the Strongest-under-Heaven Tournament. Before the fights begin, Abbot Droopy delivers, in his trademark deadpan, a bit of Zen Wisdom: "Woof." (I find this bit abt dragonball and droopy totally absurd tho. lol)

"Woof. " Lol.
