Chilly Willy is from Fairbanks, Alaska. He was inspired by an image of Herbert Lee McCormick Jr., a small boy from Fairbanks. He appeared in over 100 theatrical short subjects produced by Lantz from 1953 to 1972, most of which involve his attempts to find food or stay warm, and always meeting opposition from a dog named Smedley (voiced by Daws Butler in his "Huckleberry Hound" voice).

There were times, however, when Chilly and Smedley got along, as they did in "Vicious Viking" and "Fractured Friendship". Ironically, Chilly never referred to Smedley by name. Most times that Chilly was in opposition with Smedley, it wound up with the two of them being friends at the end. Chilly was more of a nuisance to Smedley than an enemy, often showing up where Smedley is working, usually for some mean employer.

Two of Chilly's friends, in the later seasons of the show were Maxie the Polar Bear, and Gooney the Albatross (otherwise known as a "Gooney Bird", hence his name). Maxie has appeared with Chilly more than Gooney has. There has been only one episode where all three characters, Gooney, Maxie, and Smedley have appeared together with Chilly. This episode was called "Airlift a la Carte", where Chilly, Maxie, and Gooney were looking for food, so they had to go to the store owned by Smedley.

Two of Chilly's most notable shorts, I'm Cold (1955) and the Academy Award nominated The Legend of Rockabye Point (1955), were among the final theatrical shorts directed by Tex Avery, who ended his career at the Lantz studio (where he had begun it in the early 1930s).

Chilly was mute in most of his 1950s and early 1960s cartoons, although later entries featured Daws Butler providing Chilly's voice, in a style similar to his Elroy Jetson characterization.

In pop culture, "Chilly Willy" is also the name or subject of a sort of riddle, usually played by repeating the pattern to people who don't know what the pattern is, in order to see if they can guess it. The simple pattern is: "Chilly Willy loves(hates) X, but he hates(loves) Y," where the thing he loves has at least two repeating letters, and the thing he hates doesn't. For example, "Chilly Willy loves college but he hates learning," or, "Chilly Willy hates alcohol but he loves beer." Obviously, the things that he loves or hates can be nearly identical making the riddle at first seem like total nonsense.
