The Southern Wolf (officially named as Dixie Wolf) is a carton character created by Tex Avery. He is a laidback lazy wolf who appeared in 1950s cartoons. He acts as the successor to his cousin Slick Wolf, considered as his replacement in later Droopy shorts as the laidback yet hapless foil to Droopy.
