History[edit]

Amy the Squirrel was featured in a number of Schwartz's early 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 MacOS, OS/2, Linux, and Windows machines.

Amy enjoyed her initial popularity when several of Eric's animations were featured on 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]

In the webcomic Sabrina Online, Amy was Sabrina's roommate, and is married to a Thomas Woolfe.which she has a son with, Timothy ("Timmy"). After leaving Sabrina's place to leave with her family, Amy is now a bartender.

Design[edit]

Since her introduction in the Sabrina Online webcomic, Amy is now drawn fully clothed, and portrayed as much more modest and mature after the birth of her son. She continues being as feisty as she was originally designed.

Animations/other projects[edit]

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 the At the Movies series.
