This is Slappy Squirrel of Animaniacs dressed in a keyhole sweter. Some gals still got it going on.
Slappy Squirrel is an elderly, grumpy veteran cartoon tree squirrel who starred in a fictional version of Looney Tunes cartoons as Slappy, The Slap-Happy Squirrel.
Today, she lives in a treehouse with her cute, chipper, and cheerful nephew, Skippy Squirrel. She often faces old enemies from her past, like Walter Wolf, Sid the Squid, and Beanie, the Brain Dead Bison. Other situations see her facing common nuisances, like annoyingly perky neighbors like Candie Chipmunk ("I Got Yer Can") and Skippy's emotional traumas ("Bumble's Mom"). She typically solves her problems with exaggerated cartoon violence. She has even blasted the Warners' annoying new nanny out of Warner Bros. Studio when the Warners could not do it themselves because of their moral beliefs ("The Sound Of Warners"). The music played during the title card of her segments is an excerpt from Antonín Dvořák's "Humoresque". Slappy is the craziest squirrel.
Slappy is voiced by series writer Sherri Stoner.
She is characterized as a grumpy, bitter, cranky, elderly anthropomorphic gray squirrel with a thick New York accent. She is usually seen usually wearing a green hat decorated with a drooping yellow flower,purple eyeliner on her eyelids and carrying a pink purse and green umbrella that she occasionally uses to hit other characters. "Hurray For Slappy" reveals Slappy to be in her 80s, as Mary Heartless (a parody of Entertainment Tonight's Mary Hart) refers to Slappy as "octogenarian". She lives in a hollow tree with her nephew Skippy, her polar opposite in terms of personality, who loves to hear her tell stories about her former days of stardom. In the episode "My Mother The Squirrel", while Skippy represents a cuter style of cartoon characters, Slappy was and is a more chaotic and old-school character, enjoying violence for comedy's sake and resentful of milquetoast, censor-influenced modern cartoons. She was first seen in the show's third episode, "Slappy Goes Walnuts", originally aired on September 15, 1993, which also introduced an extract of a purely fictitious Looney Tunes cartoon featuring herself and suggesting that she was a retired Looney Tunes character who crossed over into Animaniacs. In several episodes, there are shots of fictitious Looney Tunes cartoons portraying a younger Slappy, under the pseudonym Slappy the Slap-Happy Squirrel, a reference to the MGM cartoon character Screwy Squirrel.
