Brer Owl

Brer Owl is a minor animal character from Disney's Br'er Rabbit universe, inhabiting the briar patch world alongside Brer Rabbit and other woodland creatures in Dell's adaptations of the classic Song of the South tales.

Roosting quietly in the colorful world of Disney comics, Brer Owl made his debut in Dell Giant #26 in 1959 — a Silver Age arrival brought to the page with the polish you'd expect from a creative team that included the legendary Carl Barks. This feathered denizen of the briar patch shares his corner of the Dell universe with beloved characters like Brer Rabbit, Chip, Dale, and even Daisy Duck, popping up across titles like Walt Disney Chip 'n' Dale and Walt Disney Comics Digest over a span stretching into 1982. Rare appearances make him a quiet curiosity for the dedicated Disney comics collector — a small but genuine piece of that warm, nostalgic Dell era worth a second look.
