	Don Markstein's Toonopedia: Skippy
		Once, the name "Skippy" was associated in the public consciousness with an extremely popular comic strip about a little boy and his small town adventures.
		Skippy was also the first character to star in his own comic book, at least if the term is confined to the modern style, in the format pioneered by Max Gaines's Famous Funnies.
		Skippy was one of the stars of Dell's Popular Comics, along with Moon Mullins, Dick Tracy and Little Joe, starting with its February, 1936 first issue.

	VH1.com : Movies : Skippy : Plot
		Skippy jettisons most of the trenchant cynicism of Crosby's creation (the strip was something of a 1930s Calvin and Hobbes) in favor of sentiment.
		Skippy, the son of the local health inspector (Willard Robertson) conspires with his best friend, Sooky (Robert Coogan), a poor kid, to raise enough money for a dog license.
		Skippy was followed by an even more lachrymose sequel, Sooky, also released in 1931.

	Skippy (1931) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
		SKIPPY (Paramount, 1931), directed by Norman Taurog, which has nothing to do with a development of the peanut butter product bearing that name, but a story based on the then popular comic strip character as portrayed by Jackie Cooper in a performance that earned this 10-year-old child actor an Academy Award nomination as Best Actor.
		Movies such as this could also be related by those who had grown up in such an bygone era.
		So successful was SKIPPY upon its initial release, Paramount acquired an immediate sequel, SOOKY, released later in 1931, with the majority of the cast, minus Mitzi Green, reprising their roles.
