Papa Bear

A cozy corner of Golden Age funny-animal comics belongs to Papa Bear, who lumbered onto the scene in 1953 within the pages of Paul Terry's Mighty Mouse Comics — part of the charming Pines publishing universe populated by beloved Paul Terry cartoon creations. Sharing panels with the likes of Dinky Duck, Little Roquefort, and Percy Puss, Papa Bear kept delightful company among some of the era's most endearing anthropomorphic personalities. His appearances spread across titles like Dinky Duck and Paul Terry's Comics through the mid-1950s, making him a small but genuine piece of that warm, whimsical world. A modest catalog presence makes every one of his four appearances a little treasure for the dedicated funny-animal collector.
