Flappy is the main antagonist of the 1947 Tom and Jerry short "Cat Fishin'". He is an angry and vicious fish that seeks to eat whatever he feels like, whenever he feels like and is not about to let anyone get in his way.
History[]
Flappy appears when Tom uses Jerry as bait for fishing. Jerry runs, causing Flappy to give chase, eating Tom's fishing pole in the process. He proceeds to slap Tom with his tail, then smack the reel at his face before returning to the water.
Tom casts Jerry again, and Flappy awaits him with a plate and utensils. He tries to impale and eat Jerry again, but Jerry escapes and squirts him in the eye with a lemon. Flappy gives chase again, and Tom smacks the water in an attempt to get him. He hits Jerry instead, who knocks him into the water and ties a lure to his tail, causing Flappy to bite it and begin pulling Tom. Tom resists, and ends up flinging Flappy at a sleeping Spike. Flappy slaps Spike with his tail before retreating back into the water for good.
