McSnurtle the Turtle

McSnurtle the Turtle is a funny-animal character from DC's Golden Age anthology Funny Stuff, inhabiting a zany all-ages universe alongside characters like Peter Porkchops and Dizzy Dog.

Meet McSnurtle the Turtle, a delightful little character who crept onto the scene in 1951 courtesy of the great Sheldon Mayer, nestled within DC's cheerful Golden Age anthology Funny Stuff. Part of a wonderfully zany funny-animal universe, McSnurtle shared pages with the likes of Peter Porkchops, Dizzy Dog, and Dunbar Dodo — a riotous cast that made DC's mid-century all-ages comics such a joy. With appearances spread across Funny Stuff, Peter Porkchops, and The Dodo and the Frog through the mid-1950s, this slow-and-steady shelled charmer is a genuine artifact of an era when DC's humor titles were brimming with personality — a modest gem for collectors with a soft spot for the Golden Age's more whimsical corners.
