Bonny Bee

A charming piece of Golden Age Dell history, Bonny Bee made her debut in New Funnies #69 in 1942, joining a wonderfully whimsical lineup that included Raggedy Ann, Raggedy Andy, Woody Woodpecker, and Oswald the Rabbit — some of the most beloved funny-animal and storybook characters of the era. Her appearances span the mid-1940s across New Funnies and Raggedy Ann + Andy, placing her squarely in Dell's cozy, all-ages corner of the Golden Age. With only a handful of catalog appearances and one recognized key issue among them, Bonny Bee is a genuine rarity — the kind of delightful discovery that makes digging through vintage Dell titles so rewarding for the dedicated collector.
