Appearance/Personality
Screwy Squirrel is a squirrel with orange fur and a white belly and white gloves. Screwy can do almost anything to almost anyone: he pulls objects out of thin air, doubles himself, and constantly breaks the fourth wall, all the while uttering a characteristic cackling laugh. He was very similiar to many characters such as Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies characters Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck (crazy version, not later) and even MGM's own Woody Woodpecker. Most of his cartoons revolve around him inflicting various forms of torture on his enemy (usually Meathead Dog, voiced by Dick Nelson) for seven minutes. Screwy did not appear during the cinema scope era just like George & Junior and Barney Bear. He wasn't the most popular character (like Tom & Jerry and Woody) but had a similar popularity with Droopy Dog, Barney & Andy Panda.
