Hashimoto-san

A charming Silver Age discovery, Hashimoto-san made his comic book debut in 1960's New Terrytoons #1 under creator Dan Gormley, bringing a distinctly memorable presence to Western Publishing's animated-comics lineup. Born from the lively Terrytoons stable, this character kept delightful company throughout the early 1960s and into the 1970s alongside the likes of Dinky Duck, Silly Sidney, and Deputy Dawg — a roster that captures the warm, playful spirit of that era's funny-animal comics perfectly. His own title billing in Deputy Dawg Presents Dinky Duck and Hashimoto-San speaks to the affection audiences had for him, even if his catalog footprint is a rare and collectible small one. For fans hunting the charming corners of Silver Age licensed comics, Hashimoto-san is a genuine find.
