Slappy Squirrel is a grumpy cartoon veteran squirrel with an Italian accent, who starred in metafictional Looney Tunes cartoons as Slappy, The Slap-Happy Squirrel. Today, she lives in a tree with her cute and chipper nephew, Skippy Squirrel. Often, she faces old enemies from her past, like Walter Wolf. Other situations see her facing common nuisances, like annoyingly perky neighbors and Skippy's emotional traumas. Usually she solves her problems with exaggerated cartoon violence ,even blasting of the Warners' annoying new nanny out of Warner Bros. Studio when the Warners could not do it themselves because of their moral beliefs, ending the cartoon with her famous line, "Now that's comedy!" Slappy is voiced by series writer Sherri Stoner.

Scaredy Squirrel is the titular protagonist and main character of the Scaredy Squirrel children's book series. The books often follow the same format: Scaredy identifies his fears, shows how he avoids them at all costs, and develops contingency plans, which usually involve an emergency kit and playing dead till the threat has passed. Scaredy is inevitably faced with the fears he tries so hard to avoid, eventually learning that it is not as bad as he initially imagined. However, he only slightly alters his strict daily routines after these experiences. The Scaredy Squirrel series is written and illustrated by Mélanie Watt and the first book was published in March 2006 by Kids Can Press. The series is told using large pictures with simple descriptive text.
