Pudge Blake

Pudge Blake is a supporting character in DC's teen comedy series Leave It to Binky, a Golden Age kid-humor strip. He belongs to the lighthearted social circle around Binky Biggs, alongside Peggy Baxter and Jill Blake.

Pudge Blake is a charming slice of mid-century Americana, born from the pen of Sheldon Mayer — the beloved cartoonist behind some of DC's most warmly human comics — and debuting in Scribbly in 1950. A Golden Age kid-humor character, Pudge found a natural home in Leave It to Binky, DC's lighthearted teen comedy series, rubbing elbows with a lively cast including Peggy Baxter, Jill Blake, and Binky Biggs himself. With only a handful of recorded appearances, Pudge is a genuine rarity for collectors with a soft spot for the cozy, laugh-filled corner of the Golden Age that DC quietly excelled at.
