Thurston

Thurston is a supporting character in DC's teen-comedy series Leave It to Binky, inhabiting the wholesome postwar suburban world alongside main characters like Binky Biggs and Peggy Baxter in lighthearted adolescent misadventures.

Thurston is a Golden Age gem tucked inside DC's cheerful teen-comedy universe, making their debut in Leave It to Binky #12 back in 1950 — a creation of the talented duo Hal Seeger and Bob Oksner. Sharing panels with the likes of Binky Biggs, Peggy Baxter, and Sherwood across an 18-year run, Thurston is very much part of that warm, wholesome world of postwar suburban hijinks that DC served up alongside the capes-and-cowls crowd. With appearances spread across Leave It to Binky and The Hundred Comic Monthly, and two collector-recognized key issues to their name, this is a character who quietly earned their place in the funny-pages firmament. For fans who love digging into the lighter, laugh-filled side of the Golden and Silver Age, Thurston is exactly the kind of discovery that makes flipping through back-issue bins such a joy.
