Droopy is an animated cartoon character: an anthropomorphic dog with a droopy face, hence the name Droopy. He was created in 1943 by Tex Avery for theatrical cartoon shorts produced by the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer cartoon studio. Essentially the polar opposite of Avery's other famous MGM character, the loud and wacky Screwy Squirrel, Droopy moves slowly and lethargically, speaks in a lowly monotone voice, and though hardly an imposing character is shrewd enough to outwit his enemies. When finally roused to anger, often by a bad guy laughing heartly at him, Droopy is capable of beating adversaries twice his size with a comical thrashing (You know what? That makes me mad!") He also saunters into view, looking at the audience and declares, "Hello all you happy people...and you know what? I'm the hero." in his lazy look on his face.
The original voice of Droopy was provided by Bill Thompson.
