Colonel Potterby

A supporting player from the sunny suburban world of Harvey's long-running Blondie comics universe, Colonel Potterby made his entrance in 1953, brought to life by Paul Fung Jr. during the final stretch of the Golden Age. He inhabits a wonderfully familiar neighborhood populated by the likes of Dagwood, Mr. Dithers, and the irrepressible Daisy, turning up across both Blondie Comics Monthly and Chic Young's Dagwood Comics through the late fifties. With only a handful of catalog appearances, he's a rare and curious find for devoted collectors of mid-century Harvey humor comics — the kind of character who gives a complete run its texture and charm.
