The Weasel was one of the most popular characters to appear alongside Foghorn Leghorn. Weasel was a hyperactive rascal who was known to wander into the chickenyard when hungry. He is a bit like the Tazmanian Devil character, even making a Taz-like spinning sound when trying to chew on Foggy's leg. But poor weasel is less formidible than Taz, primarily due to his size. He has even less of a vocabulary than Taz, consisting primarily of slurping, panting, and the occasional high-speed "yeah yeah yeah". Taz and Weasel were both created by the same person, Robert McKimson, with the "little lint-pickin' weasel" appearing first. So Weasel was almost certainly a major inspiration for the little Devil.

Misc Weasel tidbits...

• The weasel debuted in Plop Goes The Weasel and appeared in in three cartoons altogether.
• His fur color was a bit inconsistent, sometimes it was brown but other films showed him sporting gray.
• It is a scientifically-proven fact that it is fun to imitate this character.
• Misc note: I've decided that there is a bit of a cult following for this character. Over the past few years I've gotten several requests for good images of him from people wanting to have the little guy tattooed on them.
