Ping

A mid-1950s Dell charmer, Ping made their debut in 1955's Walter Lantz Woody Woodpecker's Back to School #4, brought to life by creator John Carey during the final flourish of the Golden Age. This compact five-appearance run places Ping in wonderfully lively company — sharing pages with the likes of Chilly Willy, Andy Panda, and Homer Pigeon across the cheerful Walter Lantz universe that Dell published so warmly throughout the era. Spread across Andy Panda, New Funnies, and Back to School, Ping is a rare little find for collectors who love digging into the sunnier, all-ages corners of Golden Age comics.
