Buttons Bunny

Buttons Bunny is a funny-animal character from DC's postwar all-ages comics, appearing alongside fellow animal characters like Doodles Duck and Nutsy Squirrel in titles such as Funny Folks and Funny Stuff during the early 1950s Golden Age era.

A cheerful denizen of DC's postwar funny-animal universe, Buttons Bunny hopped onto the scene in Funny Folks #19 in 1949, brought to life by the creative duo of Woody Gelman and Rube Grossman during comics' Golden Age. Through the early 1950s, Buttons shared the pages of Funny Folks, Funny Stuff, and Movietown's Animal Antics alongside a delightful menagerie that included Doodles Duck, Dunbar Dodo, and Nutsy Squirrel — DC's answer to the era's booming appetite for lighthearted, all-ages animal comedy. A modest but genuine piece of Golden Age charm, Buttons Bunny is exactly the kind of rare find that reminds collectors just how wonderfully wide and whimsical the comics landscape of the late 1940s truly was.
