Animated cartoon dog created by Tex Avery in 1943 (6)

I believe the answer is:

droopy

(Other definitions for droopy that I've seen before include "Limp" , "Cartoon dog - sagging" , "Pessimistic, long-eared cartoon dog" , "Tending to 27 [SAG]" , "Hanging loose" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
