Sisty Hunkel

Sisty Hunkel is a supporting character from Sheldon Mayer's humor comic Scribbly, sharing her world with young cartoonist Scribbly Jibbet. A Golden Age DC original, she is notable as a member of the Hunkel family, relatives of the original Red Tornado, Ma Hunkel.

Sheldon Mayer introduced Sisty Hunkel to the world in Scribbly #2 in 1948, making her a genuine Golden Age DC original with roots in one of the era's most charmingly offbeat corners of comics. She shares her pages with the likes of Scribbly Jibbet and Robotman — a wonderfully eclectic cast that speaks to the anything-goes spirit of mid-century storytelling. Remarkable enough to earn a place in Who's Who: The Definitive Directory of the DC Universe, Sisty has a quiet staying power that stretched across nearly four decades, a testament to the lasting affection readers held for Mayer's warm, idiosyncratic world.
