Mrs. Baxter

Mrs. Baxter is a supporting character in DC's teen-humor series centered on Binky Biggs. Likely a parental figure connected to Peggy Baxter, she inhabits the wholesome suburban world of teenage comedy that defined the genre in postwar American comics.

Meet Mrs. Baxter, a Golden Age gem who's been quietly charming readers since her 1948 debut in Leave It to Binky #2, brought to life by the legendary C. C. Beck and Rod Reed. A fixture of DC's beloved teen-humor universe, she endured across an impressive 35 years of publication — from the postwar Golden Age all the way into the early 1980s — popping up in Leave It to Binky, Binky, and The Best of DC. She keeps lively company with the likes of Binky Biggs, Peggy Baxter, and the rest of that irrepressible suburban cast, and with two of her appearances earning key-issue status, even a modest 13 catalogued showings carry real collector weight. For fans of classic DC humor comics and the warm, wholesome world they captured, Mrs. Baxter is exactly the kind of character worth seeking out.
