Answer: Oswald

"Oswald the Lucky Rabbit" was 'born' in 1927, and starred in a series of short cartoons which lasted until 1928.
After Walt Disney had a 'falling out' with Charles Mintz of Universal Pictures, Oswald was dropped, to be replaced by Disney's 'new star' Mickey Mouse.

Answer: Buddy

Buddy was a Warner Brothers character from their "Looney Tunes" series. He was 'born' in 1933, and starred in 23 cartoons between 1933 and 1935 when he 'retired' to make way for new characters including one called Porky Pig.
Buddy has emerged from retirement just once since then, when he made a special guest appearance in the "Warner's 65th Anniversary" episode of "Animaniacs" in 1994.

Answer: Screwy Squirrel

Screwy Squirrel made five appearances between 1944 and 1946, and they almost all consisted of him finding new ways to 'bash' poor Meathead Dog.
In the very last cartoon though, there is a throwaway reference by Meathead that led viewers to think Screwy had gone to meet his maker, and Avery never used the character again.

Answer: Cecil

Cecil made three appearances in all, from Tex Avery in 1941, Bob Clampett in 1944, and Friz Freleng in 1947. Each cartoon was a retelling of the classic Aesop's Fable "The Tortoise and the Hare" and of course, Cecil confounded Bugs each time, although not always honestly.
Cecil also made a cameo appearance in the film "Space Jam" in 1996.
