Editing Droopy (section)

===Later appearances===
In 1980, [[Filmation]] produced a series of lower-budget Droopy [[short film|shorts]] for television as part of its ''Tom and Jerry'' TV series ''[[The Tom and Jerry Comedy Show]]''. In the 1990s [[Hanna-Barbera]] series ''[[Tom & Jerry Kids]]'', Droopy had a young son named Dripple (voiced by [[Charlie Adler]]), an older version of the infant we see in ''Homesteader Droopy''. The mild success of the show provided perhaps the most Droopy merchandise: plush toys, gummy snacks, figurines, etc. In 1993, ''Tom & Jerry Kids'' had a spin-off series, ''[[Droopy, Master Detective]]'', which cast Droopy and son as film noir style detectives. Droopy also had cameos in two theatrical features: as an elevator operator in ''[[Who Framed Roger Rabbit]]'' (where he was voiced by the film's animation director [[Richard Williams (animator)|Richard Williams]]), and in ''[[Tom and Jerry: The Movie]]''. Droopy also had cameos in all three subsequent [[Walt Disney Animation Studios|Disney]]-produced [[Roger Rabbit]] shorts, ''[[List of Who Framed Roger Rabbit media#Tummy Trouble|Tummy Trouble]]'' (again he's an elevator operator), ''[[Roller Coaster Rabbit]]'' (he plays a bad guy dressed as [[Snidely Whiplash]]), and ''[[List of Who Framed Roger Rabbit media#Trail Mix-Up|Trail Mix-Up]]'' (he plays a scuba diver), and the 1992 animated TV special ''[[Little Rosey|The Rosey and Buddy Show]]''.<ref name="Rosey Buddy">{{cite web|last1=Bollettieri|first1=Spencer|title=15 Bizarre Celebrity Cartoons You've Never Heard Of|url=https://www.cbr.com/bizarre-celebrity-cartoons/|date=November 25, 2024|publisher=CBR|access-date=May 1, 2025}}</ref> Droopy also appears in the 2006 cartoon series ''[[Tom and Jerry Tales]]'', and has appeared in almost every ''Tom and Jerry'' direct-to-video movie, beginning with ''[[Tom and Jerry: The Magic Ring]]'', either as an ally or an enemy.

Droopy appeared on various [[Cartoon Network]] specials and bumpers throughout the 1990s. When the network launched on October 1, 1992, Droopy was the host of the special "Droopy's Guide to the Cartoon Network", which served as an orientation for the new channel.<ref>{{Citation |title=Droopy's Guide to the Cartoon Network (1992, COMPLETE) | date=September 18, 2021 |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VLlWBWSvXDo |language=en |access-date=2022-03-03}}</ref> In 1997, Droopy appeared in the faux cartoon [[blooper reel]] bumper ''Bloopers of the Cartoon Stars''. Here, he says his signature line "I'm so happy" while actually smiling.<ref>{{Cite Youtube |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WF51aUEaUAc |title=Cartoon Network - Bloopers of the Cartoon Stars (1997, USA) |date=July 23, 2021 |last=CartoonNetworkTwo 2.0}}</ref>

In June 1999, Droopy appeared in a Cartoon Network short entitled ''Thanks a Latté'', in which he works at a coffee shop and forces a stingy wolf into giving him a tip. In said short, the character is depicted with a bald head and was voiced by [[Jeff Bergman]]. The short aired on Cartoon Network's sister channel [[Boomerang (TV network)|Boomerang]] until 2015. During the same period, Droopy was also featured in [[Adult Swim]]'s ''[[Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law]]'' in the episode "Droopy Botox", voiced by [[Maurice LaMarche]]. He is seen seeking a settlement after a cosmetic surgeon injected him with too much [[Botulinum toxin|botox]] (a [[running gag]] in this episode was the fact that Droopy was often seen crying despite having a huge grin frozen on his face, a reverse of the classic cartoons where a sad-faced Droopy often said, "You know what? I'm happy"). A memorable Cartoon Network promotional spot featured Droopy (voiced by Don Messick) and Shaggy from Hanna-Barbera's ''[[Scooby-Doo]]'' parodying a dialog scene between Jules and Vincent in ''[[Pulp Fiction]]''.

A three-issue Droopy comic book miniseries was released in the mid-1990s by [[Dark Horse Comics]].
