Doodles Duck

Doodles Duck is a funny-animal comic character who debuted in DC's Golden Age anthology titles, sharing pages with fellow animal stars like Nutsy Squirrel and Dunbar Dodo across titles such as Animal Antics and Funny Stuff.

Few characters capture the breezy charm of Golden Age funny-animal comics quite like Doodles Duck, who waddled onto the scene in DC's Funny Folks #19 in 1949, brought to life by the creative duo of Woody Gelman and Rube Grossman. A fixture of DC's delightful mid-century menagerie, Doodles kept lively company with the likes of Nutsy Squirrel, Buttons Bunny, and the wonderfully named Dunbar Dodo across titles like Movietown's Animal Antics, Funny Stuff, and Peter Porkchops. What's remarkable is the staying power — a catalog run stretching all the way from 1949 to 1986 means this duck bridged the Golden Age and well into the modern era, a quiet testament to the enduring warmth of DC's anthropomorphic comics tradition. For collectors with a soft spot for the whimsical, offbeat corner of the DC universe, Doodles Duck is a genuinely charming discovery.
