This nameless character debuted on December 31 in a dialogue-free (except for musical numbers) short, which was inspired by a true story. What name is this character known by today?

Oh, wait. “Inspired by a true story” probably makes this incorrect. |

Oh, wait. “Inspired by a true story” probably makes this incorrect. Correct! And his story was inspired by Ol' Rip, a horned lizard who was placed in a time capsule and hibernated inside it. Upon emerging some thirty years later, his celebrity led to a meeting with then-President Calvin Coolidge; the lizard was reported to be more animated than Silent Cal at the meeting. After his death, the lizard was ceremoniously buried in a tiny coffin and placed in the town hall in Eastland, Texas. I never liked that annoying frog. |
