Sammy Squirrel Would've Been Cuter
8 May 2021
Fortunately, we don't have to look at the adventures of Sammy Squirrel and his fluffy tail, when we have Screwball Squirrel around to torment Meathead the Bird Dog.

Here's another classic Tex Avery cartoon in which he doesn't break the fourth wall, he ignores it, with the violent and funny gags supplemented with gags that tell the audience it's all a carton, with records playing the score getting stuck, Screwball Squirrel figuring out what's going to happen next by looking at the cels, and disappearing from one end of the frame to appear at the other.

Avery tired of the character very soon, which in many ways hearkens back to his work at Termite Terrace, and retired him after five cartoons. Ity.
