Lemuel Duck

Lemuel Duck is a funny-animal character who appeared in DC's humor anthology Peter Porkchops, sharing its whimsical world of anthropomorphic characters like Peter Porkchops, Doodles Duck, and Bo Bunny, aimed at younger readers in the early 1950s.

A minor but memorable face from the twilight of comics' Golden Age, Lemuel Duck waddled onto the scene in 1954, courtesy of creator Otto Feuer, debuting in the pages of DC's beloved funny-animal title Peter Porkchops. Sharing those cheerful mid-century pages with the likes of Peter Porkchops, Doodles Duck, Bo Bunny, and Skinny Fox, Lemuel was part of a warm, whimsical world that DC built for younger readers in the early fifties. His appearances stretch across both Peter Porkchops and The Raccoon Kids, making him a quietly recurring presence in that cozy corner of the DC universe. Rare enough to delight a dedicated funny-animal collector, Lemuel Duck is exactly the kind of charming footnote that reminds us just how richly varied the Golden Age truly was.
