Mr. Didit

Mr. Didit is a humor character from Archie's comedy lineup, appearing in laugh-focused titles alongside a cast of fellow Didits and oddballs. A creation of cartoonist Gus Lemoine, he inhabits the anarchic, gag-driven world of Archie's irreverent Mad House series.

A Silver Age creation from the Archie humor stable, Mr. Didit made his debut in Mad House Ma-ad Jokes #70 in 1969, brought to life by cartoonist Gus Lemoine. Over a run stretching into the mid-seventies, he turned up across the groovy pages of The Mad House Glads, Mad House Ma-ad Freak-Out, and Mad House Ma-ad Jokes — the kind of laugh-first titles that defined Archie's irreverent comedic corner of the newsstand. He shares those anarchic pages with a whole cast of Didits and oddballs like Fran the Fan, making for lively, zany company. With 17 catalog appearances, Mr. Didit is a genuine artifact of late-Silver Age humor comics — a small but spirited piece of Archie history worth a second look for any collector with a soft spot for the era's wildly fun fringe.
