Toby the Pup

He starred in a series of early sound shorts produced by Charles B. Mintz for RKO Radio Pictures.

He hired two Fleischer animators, Dick Huemer and Sid Marcus, and assigned them to work with Art Davis to create the new series.

Marcus, who worked for the Mintz studio when it was still located in New York City, devised Toby the Pup.

Despite the series' success, it concluded after only twelve films; most likely because of RKO's ties with the Van Beuren studio.

For this series, Huemer devised a new character, a small boy named Scrappy.
