Willy Weasel

Willy Weasel is an anthropomorphic weasel from DC's mid-century funny-animal comics, appearing as a mischievous, sly character in the world of Peter Porkchops alongside other animal stars like Biggety Bear and Goofy Goose.

A sly fixture of DC's mid-century funny-animal world, Willy Weasel slunk onto the scene in 1950 courtesy of creator Otto Feuer, debuting in the pages of Peter Porkchops during the Golden Age. True to the weasel name, this character carved out a niche in the cheerful, anarchic company of Peter Porkchops, Biggety Bear, Goofy Goose, and the rest of DC's anthropomorphic menagerie, also turning up in The Raccoon Kids. With only eight catalog appearances spread across the 1950s, Willy is a genuine rarity — a small but authentic piece of the era when DC's funny-animal titles were a warm, whimsical corner of the spinner rack worth rediscovering.
