Loopy De Loop is an anthropomorphic wolf and the main title character in the Loopy De Loop animated theatrical shorts. His voice was originated by Daws Butler.
Loopy is a "friendly wolf," unlike most other wolves, who tries to prove to those that not all wolves are necessarily bad. But due to being a wolf, he is usually tortured in some way in the end.
Character description
Loopy De Loop is a tall wolf with brown fur and a long snout. His attire consists of a yellow toque and a yellow scarf.
Personality-wise, Loopy considers himself to be a charming and considering wolf. He makes a living by being a good samaritan, using his kindness to persuade humans of clearing the bad reputation his species gets. Despite his determination, his antics have lead Loopy getting beat up or chased out by the very people he tries to help, all for no other reason than the prejudice of being a wolf. His bid to converse in a French-Canadian accent may have also been a part of his failings.
In the HBO Max series Jellystone!, Loopy is depicted as a female wolf. Whereas her original counterpart is a highly sentimental gentleman, Loopy is far less friendly in this series and is more quick to make a deadpan one-liner. She wears a beret instead of a toque.

Development
During Hanna-Barbera's early years, a series of theatrical shorts staring Loopy De Loop were created to compete with the likes of Disney and Warner Bros., but the shorts didn't get much success as the latter, and became one of HB's lesser-known creations. The character himself seems to have been based off of Pepé Le Pew from the Looney Tunes francise and the shorts themselves bare resemblance to Casper the Friendly Ghost, with Loopy trying to help others, in a similar way to Casper.
During production on Jellystone!, Melody Iza, herself a transgender artist, suggested for Loopy to be turned into a transgender female character mid production. Iza suggested the same change to Baba Looey and Squiddly Diddly.[1]
