	Tex Avery at M.G.M.'s : Screwy Squirrel Page 1
		Screwy Squirrel is born in April 1944, in Screwball Squirrel.
		All begins with an intruder elimination, a nice small squirrel, which was ready to live a new adventure with his/her friends with hairs and feathers.
		Screwy Squirrel has, of course, no respect for this established order, that it undertakes narguer and destroy with all the means Avery places at its disposal.

	scary squirrel world - Screwy Squirrel exposed!
		Screwy Squirrel was found orphaned on the Isle of Wight by Squirrel Nutkin, leader of the Seven Deadly Squirrels Gang, in 1930.
		Several support people who were at MGM at the time stated that Screwy really fumed over the way he was being treated, and it was in response to this insult that he hatched the plot to make a hostile takeover bid for the Studio, using otherwise unidentified foreign backers.
		Screwy was clever enough to have worked through a string of intermediaries and dupes, but the heavy legal fees he had to pay in order to keep out of prison, and the subsequent civil lawsuit by the family of the by-then deceased starlet used up what remained of his vast fortune.

	Red squirrel
		As the squirrel does not hibernate, it seizes this opportunity to pile up, in different places, a whole stock of acorns, conifer seeds, mushrooms, insects and snails and even, some pilfered birds' eggs...
		The word squirrel, comes from “Skiouros” in Greek, derived from “skia” which means shady, and from “oura” which means tail.
		It may be either a squirrel from our old picture books and cartoons or a squirrel from the forests and wooded gardens, nevertheless, this small rodent, gifted with a pleasant and likeable portrait, prompts us to love and protect it rather than kill or hunt it down for its flesh.

	Screwball Squirrel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Screwball "Screwy" Squirrel is a cartoon character, an anthropomorphic squirrel created by Tex Avery for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, generally considered the wackiest of the screwball cartoon characters of the 1940s, who include Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, and Woody Woodpecker.
		In 1993, Screwy was used as a template for Slappy Squirrel on Animaniacs, as a female version of the character who had aged 50 years and become a miserly and cranky character.
		As of 2005, Screwy appears as one of the characters in idents for the Boomerang TV channel.

	Don Markstein's Toonopedia: Screwy Squirrel
		Screwy Squirrel is a terrific vehicle for gags, but just too anarchic, too whacky, with too few redeeming characteristics, to engage audiences over the long haul.
		There, his name was often given as "Skrewy the Skrewball Squirrel".
		In the mid-1990s, as "Screwball Squirrel", he was revived both in cartoons (as a back-up character in the Saturday morning TV show Droopy, Master Detective) and comic books (when Dark Horse Comics did a three-issue series of his adventures, as well as featuring him in other comics based on Tex Avery's work at MGM).

		Midway in the chase, the little guy — the squirrel — asks what the next scene will be, and literally lifts the page to see the cartoon underneath.
		At the real end of the thing, the little guy comes on stage to talk to the audience and reveals that he was able to perform all those tricks because he had a twin.
		The final joke is that the big dog had one too (about which the screwy squirrel was unaware.)

	The Animated Cartoon Factory
		I ended up doing the 3 main stories for the 'Droopy' series, 3 stories for 'The Wolf and Red' and 3 for 'Screwball Squirrel'.
		On the last story I was working on for Screwball Squirrel which had Droopy, the Wolf and Red all in it, called 'The Affection Connection'.
		Just before I had started the pencilling for the story, the rights to Droopy were sold to Turner Broadcasting and the editor was fired and another guy from Turner took his place.

	Incessantly-Asked Questions
		Tex said he had done certain voices in his films and he would sometimes replicate his performances for eager questioners, myself included.
		Naturally, it got into print several times that he'd supplied the voice of Junior (in the George and Junior films); that he did Meathead, the dumb dog in Screwball Squirrel; that he occasionally provided Droopy's voice, etc. None of these is apparently true.
		The voices of both George and Junior were done by a gentleman named Dick Nelson, who also did Meathead.

		Screwball Squirrel is basically an MGM Bugs Bunny clone, and it shows in this, his first appearance, in which he torments Meathead the dog, who he goads into chasing him.
		But as derivative as it is, there really are some interesting things done in terms of poking fun at the whole cartoon short format and breaking the fourth wall, which makes it worth watching.

		Synopsis A mangy cat on the verge of starvation finds a tiny canary and a bottle of 'Jumbo-Gro' fertiliser, which gives him an idea that leads to giant cats, dogs, mice and canaries chasing each other round Lilliputian towns and cities...
		Like many of the shorts from the period, this cartoon has enough bawdy humor to satisfy the adult while maintaining enough sight gags to keep the little ones in stitches, too.
		"Screwball Squirrel," a lesser-tier MGM cartoon star, holds his own as one of the great over-the-top creations ever to appear on the big screen.

	village voice > film > Death to Smoochy; The Komediant; Les Destinées by J. Hoberman
		The epitome of animated anti-cuteness, Tex Avery's Screwball Squirrel was a raucous rodent who began his career by mugging the cartoon's eye-batting li'l bunny-wunny narrator.
		The ascendant Screwy proved so gratingly obnoxious (and uncommercial) that, four outings later, Avery had him affectionately crushed to death by a big dumb bear named Lonesome Lenny.
		Typically, the squirrel's last act was to brandish a sign inscribed "Sad ending, isn't it?"
