Dale

Dale is a chipmunk who debuted alongside Chip in Walt Disney comic stories. One half of the mischievous chipmunk duo, Dale is the fun-loving, carefree counterpart to the more serious Chip, and the two are nearly inseparable companions.

Few characters can claim a Golden Age debut and still be gracing comic pages over eight decades later, but Dale is exactly that kind of enduring treasure. First appearing in Walt Disney's Comics and Stories #1 [25] back in 1942, this chipmunk charmer has shared the funny pages with some of the most beloved names in Disney comics history — Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Uncle Scrooge, Goofy, and the Duck nephews among them. With 51 catalog appearances spanning titles like Walt Disney Comics Digest, Disney Adventures, and Disney's Colossal Comics Collection, Dale has proven to be a consistent, crowd-pleasing presence across generations of readers. For collectors, that Golden Age debut alone makes Dale worth tracking down, and with a key issue already on the books, this is one classic Disney comics figure whose long run speaks for itself.
