\"Scrappy
\nAugust 2005<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bad news: The National Scrappy Gallery’s holdings<\/a> don’t include a single actual Scrappy theatrical poster. Not yet, anyhow. So we’ve been forced to borrow these images from Bruce Hershenson’s wonderful book Cartoon Movie Posters<\/em> (1995).<\/p>\n

If there’s one classic Scrappy poster, this is probably it. Mysteriously, everybody is off-model except Margy…who looks great. (The poster continues the Mintz tradition of being vague on the exact names of the characters: “Margie,” “Oopie,” and “Yippie” are better known as Margy, Oopy, and Yippy.)<\/p>\n

\"Scrappy<\/p>\n

Another stock poster. Scrappy, atypically, is wearing a striped long-sleeved shirt. And striped tights.<\/p>\n

\"Scrappy<\/p>\n

On December 12th, 1932, Columbia released\u00a0The Wolf at the Door<\/em>. Scrappy and Oopy were mounties. (We were about to accuse them of ripping off Nelson Eddy, but\u00a0Rose-Marie<\/a>\u00a0didn’t come out until 1936–maybe Nelson was ripping off\u00a0Scrappy<\/em>.)<\/p>\n

We’re not sure how frequently Columbia used “The Mischief Kid of the Screen ” as Scrappy’s tagline, but we like it.<\/p>\n

\"Scrappy<\/p>\n

The same artist was clearly responsible for the poster for\u00a0The False Alarm\u00a0<\/em>, which was released on April 22nd, 1933. Scrappy may look brave here, but\u00a0Etcheverry and Friedwald<\/a>\u00a0say that he’s “unbelievably inept” in the cartoon itself.<\/p>\n

\"Scrappy<\/p>\n

Finally, the poster for Doctor Bluebird<\/em>, released on February 5th, 1936 in the Color Rhapsody series. We haven’t seen this short, but we’re inclined to believe it’s second-rate Scrappy based on the poster alone.<\/p>\n
