  Something Old, Nothing New: Great WB Animators, Part 2
Some of this may reflect the fact that Hawkins had worked at Disney, where the animation was very fluid and had characters in constant motion, rather than the jerkier, more pronounced movements of typical WB animation.
But Hawkins uses this fluid style not to be cute but to be funny; he uses the fluid style to take characters' bodies through a lot of changes and poses very quickly, with the fun coming from how quickly the character changes his movement and even his shape.
Perhaps the best-known cartoon that Hawkins worked on is Chuck Jones' Rabbit of Seville, where Hawkins animated the opening scene and Bugs's drag scene.

 HAROLD FRANKLIN "HAWKSHAW" HAWKINS
Patsy has become more famous in death than she was during her brief career, but Cowboy Copas and Hawkshaw Hawkins, who were well-known stars of the Grand Ole Opry have been all but forgotten, which is sad, because their legacy deserves more than that.
He inscribed a copy to Ralph Emery with "Play the hell out of this, hoss." It first appeared in the Billboard country chart in the March 2, 1963 issue (three days before his death).
Lonesome 7-7203 was absent from the charts for the two weeks following his death, but re-appeared on March 23rd and went on to spend 25 weeks on the chart, four of them at the number one spot, something that eluded him during his lifetime.

 Don Markstein's Toonopedia: Henery Hawk
It's just that he was too young and inexperienced to know a chicken when he saw one; and (tho gifted with out-of-proportion strength) far too small to do much about it if he did.
Henery (who was likely named after animator Emery Hawkins, by the way) was introduced in The Squawkin' Hawk, which was released August 8, 1942.
The director was Chuck Jones, who is also known for such minor stars as Sniffles the Mouse, Hubie & Bertie, and The Three Bears, to say nothing of such major ones as The Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote.

(Hawkins wasn't a regular member of Jones' unit; he had animated for Walter Lantz, and then moved to WB to work for director Arthur Davis.
When Davis's unit was closed down, Hawkins animated for the three remaining directors at WB, a sort of "rotating" animator, and then left; he mostly worked on commercials after that.)

It's ironic, in a letter to Funnyworld following up an interview with Milt Gray, and commenting Raggedy Ann and Andy's problems, M. Williams comments on trying to put the rush on the film, so that Grim, Ken Harris, and Emery Hawkins can still be around and appreciate the film.
This was circa 1979, and of course, not only was Grim's stuff cut, but none of these gents (and probably others, by then) were alive to see the release print.

These changes occurred because of a wave of fresh talent that hit the Mintz studio at that time.
Al Eugster, Preston Blair, Irv Spence, Bob Wickersham, and especially Emery Hawkins enjoyed their time at the studio, mainly because Marcus and Davis encouraged them to do virtually anything they wanted in the shorts — the same sort of laissez-faire attitude taken during the heyday of the Lantz studio.
Manny Gould and Ben Harrison, who pioneered the opposite approach on the Krazy Kat series, led a turnaround that began to push the Scrappy series even further.
