Ozzie Owl

Ozzie Owl is a funny-animal character from DC's Golden Age humor comics, debuting in Funny Stuff #44. He stars in lighthearted, laugh-first stories alongside an eccentric cast including Nutsy Squirrel and Dunbar Dodo.

Hatched in the pages of DC's delightful Golden Age funny-animal comics, Ozzie Owl made his debut in Funny Stuff #44 in 1949, courtesy of cartoonist Rube Grossman. This feathered fellow found a cozy home across Funny Folks, Funny Stuff, and Movietown's Animal Antics — a trio of titles that kept DC's lighter, laugh-first side alive in the late Golden Age. Ozzie keeps lively company with the likes of Nutsy Squirrel, Dunbar Dodo, and The Professor, a wonderfully eccentric cast that speaks to the charm of that era's all-ages comics. A rare find with just seven catalogued appearances, Ozzie is a genuine collector's curiosity — a small but warm corner of DC history worth a closer look.
