). A little round-headed boy, Scrappy often found himself involved in off-beat neighborhood adventures. Usually paired with his little brother Oopy (originally Vontzy), Scrappy also had an on-again, off-again girlfriend named Margy and a Scotty dog named Yippy. In later shorts the annoying little girl Brat and pesky pet Petey Parrot also appeared. Huemer created the character in 1931, and he remained aboard Mintz's studio until 1933. With Huemer's departure, his colleagues Sid Marcus and Art Davis assumed control of the series. The final regular entry in the series, ''Scrappy's Rodeo'' was released in 1939. Scrappy would continue to appear in the '' Phantasies'' and ''Fables'' series. The final cartoon featuring Scrappy, ''The Little Theatre'', was released on February 7, 1941.
