Who is Sherman?

Sherman is the cheerful, bookish boy adopted by the genius dog Mr. Peabody, accompanying him on educational adventures through time via the WABAC machine. Together they witness and often meddle humorously in pivotal historical events.

Debuting in Popeye #25 in 1953 under the pen of the legendary Bud Sagendorf, Sherman is a Golden Age character whose catalog journey stretches across an impressive 64 years — a quiet testament to lasting appeal. Most at home in the pages of Rocky and His Fiendish Friends, this character keeps genuinely delightful company, sharing adventures with the likes of Mr. Peabody, Bullwinkle J. Moose, Boris Badenov, Natasha Fatale, and Dudley Do-Right — a roster that reads like a who's who of beloved animated-comics crossover royalty. For collectors with a soft spot for the era when Western Publishing brought cartoon worlds to the comic page, Sherman is a charming piece of that colorful, warmly nostalgic puzzle worth tracking down.
