ONCE DESCRIBED AS "DAFFY DUCK TAKEN ONE STEP FURTHER THAN HE ABSOLUTELY HAS TO":  On April 1, 1944, in response to such anarchic animated heroes as Woody Woodpecker, Tex Avery unleashed Screwball Squirrel on the world, and a more vengeful, fourth-wall-breaking protagonist you will not find. He lasted five shorts. Enjoy.
