Southern Wolf (also known as Dixie Wolf in the series) is a Tex Avery character that appears in the The Tom and Jerry Show (2014). His first appearance in the series is in the episode "Counting Sheep". He is voiced by Stephen Stanton.

Characteristics

Bio

Dixie first appeared in "Counting Sheep", where he hires Tom and Jerry to help him clear his name when a sheep went missing and he was suspected of kidnapping it. Later on, though, it turns out that he actually was the culprit behind the sheep's disappearance. Dixie reveals that he had kidnapped the sheep and brought it into his own factory, where he forced it to make sheep sounds for small tin sound makers, which he would then sell and become rich by doing so. However, he was caught by Tom and Jerry, and after fighting back and forth for the sheep, they all ended up being shipped in boxes, with the sheep being shipped back to its home, where it reunited with its family, and Dixie, Tom, and Jerry being shipped to the police station. There, Dixie ended up turning himself in for sheep-napping, claiming that "it ain't worth it."

He once worked for Butch the Irish Dog in "Who Sled the Dogs Out?"

Personality

He is usually chill and laid-back, and he even speaks with a dull, monotonous Southern accent. But he is also a faker and a liar, especially when he says things to cover up his crimes and make others believe him, even though what he says is not always true; plus, his stories do not sound very convincing to others, like Tom and Jerry. This often makes him very clever, although sometimes he is not so smart.

Appearance

Dixie is a tall, slightly pudgy wolf with brown fur, a light brown muzzle and face, black eyebrows, and a black nose. He wears a light blue shirt, blue overalls with yellow buttons, and a light yellow farmer's hat. He also has a red and white polka-dotted handkerchief sticking out of his back pocket.

Trivia

• He is the cousin of Slick McWolf and Country Wolf and uncle of Stinky Jr.
  • He seems to be a southern version of Slick McWolf.
• As his name implies, he speaks with a Southern accent (albeit a rather dull one).
• According to Daws Butler who voiced the Southern Wolf in the MGM Tex Avery cartoons, the voice was inspired by a veterinarian who was a neighbor to his in-laws who lived in Albermarle, North Carolina. Butler would later do versions of this voice on television for Smedley on The Woody Woodpecker Show at Walter Lantz Productions and also Reddy from The Ruff and Reddy Show and Huckleberry Hound from The Huckleberry Hound Show, both done at Hanna-Barbera Productions.
• The song he whistles in the MGM Tex Avery theatrical cartoons is "Kingdom Coming (AKA The Year of Jubilo)", written in 1861 by Henry Clay Work. His whistling is preformed by Joe Trescari, who is uncredited.
