Flop

Flop is a talking black-and-white cat starring in DC's funny-animal comics, derived from Columbia Screen Gems theatrical cartoon characters. Paired with Flippity the canary and Sam the dog, Flop debuted in Real Screen Comics #14 in 1947 with no superpowers — just slapstick comedy antics.

A cheerful fixture of DC's Golden Age funny-animal world, Flop made their debut in Real Screen Comics #14 back in 1947 and went on to charm readers across a solid sixteen-year run through titles like Flippity & Flop, Real Screen Comics, and TV Screen Cartoons. That kind of longevity in the postwar comics landscape is no small thing, and with two key-issue appearances to their name, collectors have taken notice. Flop kept lively company throughout — sharing pages with the likes of Fauntleroy Fox, Crawford Crow, and Twiddle and Twaddle — making those books a warm, whimsical corner of mid-century DC worth revisiting.
