Slappy Squirrel an influence on Greg Rucka's The Old Guard

[John Pannozzi]

Interesting tidbit from a panel discussion of Image Comics creators:

[Greg] Rucka then described the immortal protagonists of “The Old Guard,” co-created by Leandro Fernandez. According to Rucka, the series is “really just a Looney Tunes cartoon, but with people,” and with a lead character who was based entirely on Slappy Squirrel from “Animaniacs.”

Hmmm... better check that series out.

Fascinating information on that for Animaniacs.
