Screwball Squirrel

Screwball Squirrel is a cartoon-style troublemaker from Dark Horse Comics who debuted in Wolf & Red #2, bringing anarchic slapstick energy to a universe shared with characters like Droopy, Wolf, Red, and Meathead — eventually earning a solo spotlight series.

Debuting in Dark Horse's Wolf & Red #2 in 1995, Screwball Squirrel is a Copper/Modern Age comics personality who brings classic cartoon-flavored chaos to the page, courtesy of creators Henry Gilroy and Stephanie Gladden. This pint-sized troublemaker earned their own spotlight series and crossed paths with an eclectic crowd — sharing adventures with the likes of Droopy, Wolf, Red, Meathead, and even Godzilla, which tells you everything about the wonderfully unhinged energy of this corner of the Dark Horse universe. The run was brief, wrapping up around 1996, but ten appearances across titles like Screwball Squirrel, Droopy, and Godzilla make for a charmingly compact little legacy. For collectors who love their funny-animal comics with a side of gloriously unpredictable company, this is a delightful rabbit hole to fall into.
