Nibbles (also known as Tuffy) is a fictional character from the Tom and Jerry cartoon series. He is the little, blue/gray, diaper-wearing orphan mouse whose cartoon debut came in the 1946 short The Milky Waif.[1] Tuffy was later featured in the 1949 Academy Award-winning short The Little Orphan,[2] as well as Two Little Indians and The Two Mouseketeers (both 1952).[3]

Origin and development[]

The character's first actual appearance came in the 1942 comic book Our Gang Comics #1, where despite his diaper, he was presented as a peer of Jerry rather than a younger individual. Tuffy was created by Gaylord Du Bois. In the comics, the gray mouse's name was given as Tuffy Mouse from the start.[4]
