The Tasmanian Devil

Another post in a day? Yes siree pop, you lucky Looney-tics you.

This guy actually never had a name to begin with. He was just a Tasmanian devil that most people figured was an animal that the animators had just made up. It took a long time for him to be created: 1954! Also, despite his popularity, he only appeared in 5 shorts. (4 of which were with Bugs Bunny.) He was created because the animators wanted a new character and realized the only thing they had not used was a t.d. This design looks nothing like the real creature and that is part of his charm. I don’t know where they got his spinning skill, though. (Still, it’s freaking cool.)
