Skidsy

Skidsy is a Golden Age gem who made their debut in the pages of Joker Comics #6 back in 1943 — right in the thick of Marvel's early humor publishing era — and somehow kept turning up in comics all the way through 1984, a remarkable four-decade run for a character born in wartime funny pages. Their stomping grounds include Joker Comics, Tessie the Typist Comics, and Hedy De Vine Comics, putting them squarely in Marvel's lighthearted comedic corner alongside beloved characters like Tessie the Typist, Powerhouse Pepper, and Millie Collins. With 41 appearances logged and at least one collector-recognized key issue to their name, Skidsy is exactly the kind of lovable, persistent background fixture that reminds you just how rich and varied Marvel's Golden Age output really was — well worth a dig through the back-issue bins.
