Droopy's Enemy
Spike is not to be confused with another bulldog of the same name who appeared in Tex Avery and Michael Lah's Droopy cartoons, and nine solo shorts, for MGM. However, the two characters were essentially combined into one in the Tom and Jerry Comedy Show, where the Tom & Jerry version of Spike would also appear in the new Droopy cartoons, filling the role of the other Spike as an antagonist of Droopy the Basset Hound. They were not separated as distinct characters again, until the feature Tom and Jerry: The Magic Ring. This character, now named "Butch" (not to be confused for the black alley cat of the same name from Tom and Jerry), would then make several appearances in the Tom and Jerry films as a minor antagonist, ironically alongside Droopy.

Famous quotes containing the word enemy:
“He began therefore to invest the fortress of my heart by a circumvallation of distant bows and respectful looks; he then entrenched his forces in the deep caution of never uttering an unguarded word or syllable. His designs being yet covered, he played off from several quarters a large battery of compliments. But here he found a repulse from the enemy by an absolute rejection of such fulsome praise, and this forced him back again close into his former trenches.”
—Sarah Fielding (1710–1768)
