The Screwy Truant
The Screwy Truant is a 1945 Screwy Squirrel cartoon directed by Tex Avery and released by MGM. Summary. The cartoon centers around an adolescent version of Screwy Squirrel, who skips school to go fishing, which causes truant officer Meathead Dog (here seen with a different color palette but otherwise the same) to go around attempting to arrest Screwy, with various failures. At the end, Screwy reveals that he wasn't in school because he had measles. Cameo. Red and "Wolfie" (from "Swing Shift Cinderella") make a cameo appearance. In the middle of the cartoon, the two interrupt  one of Screwy's antics with the wolf chasing Red across the screen, only for Screwy to interrupt by showing the title of the cartoon, saying he is in the wrong cartoon. "Swing Shift Cinderella" wasn't released for another seven months, so it can be inferred that the script was being written at the time, and Tex wanted to give a short teaser for it.
