Who is Cicero Pig?

Cicero Pig is a young pig character who appeared in Dell's Four Color series in 1945, starring in his own comic adventures. A spin-off from the Andy Panda universe, Cicero is Andy Panda's mischievous little son.

Few characters can claim a Golden Age debut and still be turning up in comics nearly four decades later, but Cicero Pig is exactly that kind of enduring charmer. Introduced in 1945 by Carl Buettner in Four Color #88, this little Dell Comics personality found a lasting home across Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies and the Porky Pig series, racking up 111 catalog appearances alongside some of animation's most beloved faces β€” Bugs Bunny, Elmer Fudd, Petunia Pig, and Sniffles among them. With four collector-recognized key issues to their name, Cicero Pig is more than a footnote in the Golden Age funny-animal tradition β€” they're a genuine piece of it, the kind of recurring presence that quietly stitches together decades of Dell's cartoon comics heritage.
