Santa's Little Helper

Santa's Little Helper is the Simpson family's greyhound, originally a racing dog adopted by Homer and Bart after he lost a race on Christmas Eve. The lovable but mischievous dog became a loyal pet to the entire Simpson clan, including Bart, Lisa, Marge, Homer, and Maggie.

Few comic companions carry as much heart as Santa's Little Helper, the beloved Simpson family dog who bounded into Bongo Comics' Simpsons Comics #4 in 1994, courtesy of creators Steve Vance, Cindy Vance, and Bill Morrison. A Copper/Modern Age arrival, this four-legged fixture spent nearly a quarter century sharing panels with the entire Simpson clan — Bart, Homer, Lisa, Marge, and Maggie — across titles like Simpsons Comics, Bongo Comics Free-for-All!, and Simpsons Comics Explosion. For fans who love their comics with a wag and a warm Springfield glow, Santa's Little Helper is a charming piece of the Bongo universe worth tracking down.
