'''Amy the Squirrel''', or just '''Amy Squirrel''', is a [[cartoon]] [[squirrel (species)|squirrel]] [[character]] created by [[artist]] and [[animator]] [[Eric W. Schwartz]], and one of the handful of the [[furry fandom]]'s better known characters.<br />
<br />
== History ==<br />
<br />
Amy the Squirrel was featured in a number of Schwartz's early [[W:Amiga|Amiga]] animations and became the unofficial [[mascot]] of the Amiga community. Most of Eric's animations were produced with [[Movie Setter]], an Amiga app not unlike [[Flash]], but meant for stand-alone disk content. [[XAnim]] and other players can play these files, so Eric's animations can still be viewed on [[W:MacOS|MacOS]], [[OS/2]], [[W:Linux|Linux]], and [[Windows]] machines.<br />
<br />
Amy enjoyed her initial popularity when several of Eric's animations were featured on [[W:Fred Fish|Fred Fish]] disks - CD collections of hot [[shareware]] and [[freeware]] for the Amiga sold mail-order and traded at user groups - and multiple times in a [[Commodore]]-centric magazine.{{clarify}}<br />
<br />
Amy predates most of Schwartz's other characters, including [[Sabrina the Skunk]]. <br />
<br />
=== ''Sabrina Online'' appearance ===<br />
<br />
In the [[webcomic]] ''[[Sabrina Online]]'', Amy was Sabrina's roommate, and is married to a [[wolf]] named [[Thomas Woolfe]], which she has a son with, [[Timothy Squirrel-Woolfe|Timothy ("Timmy")]]. After leaving Sabrina's place to leave with her family, Amy is now a bartender.<br />
<br />
== Design ==<br />
<br />
Amy has changed a bit over the years; in the early years (the late 1980s to the mid-1990s), Amy was almost always drawn [[topless]] (though in a playful way), wearing nothing but a very short blue skirt. She was portrayed as mostly playful and mischievous.<br />
<br />
Since the mid-90s, Amy is drawn fully clothed and portrayed as much more modest and mature. This is due probably in part due to her getting married and having a child in ''Sabrina Online''. <br />
<br />
== Animations/other projects ==<br />
<br />
One of Amy's best animations is [[Amy the Squirrel's ''A Walk in the Park'']]. Others include ''[[The History of Amy The Squirrel]]'' and ''[[At the Movies 3]]'' (1997).<br />
