Dunbar Dodo

Dunbar Dodo is a funny-animal character who debuted in DC's postwar era as the bumbling star of 'The Dodo and the Frog,' a comedic strip pairing him with his companion Fennimore Frog. A non-powered resident of Earth-C, he later appeared as a cruise-ship captain.

Straight out of DC's Golden Age comes Dunbar Dodo, a delightfully offbeat funny-animal character who made their debut in Wonder Woman #23 in 1947 — an eyebrow-raising launchpad that speaks to just how wonderfully unpredictable the comics of that era could be. Over the following decade, Dunbar found their true home in DC's humor anthology titles like Funny Stuff, Comic Cavalcade, and Peter Porkchops, sharing pages with a menagerie of memorable characters including Fenimore Frog, Goofy Goose, and Rollo Raccoon. With 52 catalogued appearances and four recognized key issues to their name, this is a character with more substance than the casual collector might expect — a genuine slice of mid-century DC whimsy that rewards anyone digging into the lighter, funnier corners of the Golden Age.
