Quick Facts Flippy, Starring ...

Overview

Starting in 1945, Flippy made his debut in Dog Cat and Canary. Starting in 1946, Flippy partnered with Flop, a cartoon cat. The characters were mostly voiced by Harry E. Lang. (Flop also has a speaking role in Cagey Bird and Silent Tweetment by Frank Graham and Flippy in the end of Big House Blues by Bill Shaw.)

Plot

[2] The antics of the two characters were similar to that of Tweety and Sylvester of Warner Bros. However, unlike Tweety, Flippy had to rely on Sam the household dog to protect him from Flop. The two characters only appeared in four cartoons before Screen Gems was replaced by United Productions of America in 1948, with Screen Gems' final cartoon releasing the following year. Their popularity never reached that of Columbia's biggest cartoon stars, The Fox and the Crow. Flippy (renamed "Flippity") and Flop lived on only in comic books published by DC Comics until 1962.
