Butch (formerly known as Spike) is an animated cartoon character created by Tex Avery. Portrayed as an anthropomorphic Irish bulldog, the character was a recurring antagonist in the Droopy shorts, and appeared in his own series of solo shorts as well. His name was changed to Butch in 1955's "Deputy Droopy" to avoid confusion with Spike from the "Tom and Jerry" cartoons. All of the original 1940s and 1950s shorts were directed by Avery and Michael Lah at the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer cartoon studio. Butch would not appear in new material again until "" in 2002.
Later appearances.
Butch reappeared in direct-to-DVD films such as "" and "Tom and Jerry Meet Sherlock Holmes", alongside Droopy.
His latest appearance was in 2014's "The Tom and Jerry Show". He appeared in the episode "Double Dog Trouble", where Spike and Butch are two separate characters who are twins, in order to poke at the character's retitling, while detectives Tom and Jerry mistake each one for the other after Spike buys a room at the town's motel.
