A fair sized update this weeknd, though i'm not sure how many new entries. I suppose i could go down to the next paragraph and count, but i'm feeling much too lazy. Let's just call it three score, or thereabouts.
New listings include:
Archie Pelican, Bango Bear, Baseball Benny, Basil, Batty Bunny, Bitsy Bat, Boopy Ostrich, Bow-Wow Beagle, Buster Bruin, Buttie And Boobie, Cagey Coyote, Cottontail Twins, Daffy Bros., Deadeye Duck, Dip And Drip, Dooless, Dope And Balogna, Ella Fant, Finny Fish, Fritz, Gus Gopher, Hamlette, Hammy, Jasper The Star Salesman, Kid Kangaroo, Killer Gorilla, Lemuel Lamb, Leroy And Buster, Little Cat Little, Little Red Henrietta, Loafers, Lunkhead The Great, Marty The Grease Monkey, Maxie The Taxi Driver, Monk And Honk, Mousy And Butch, Ol' Cracker, Ol' Tabby, Ole Mole, Pat The Potato Bug, Pooky-Pine, Ralph Rooster, Ratz Brothers, Robin Rabbit, Rooster And The Crow, Rube Rooster, Rufus Rabbit, Samplin' Sammy, Scatter Puss, Silas Skinflint, Silly Billy, Simpy Sammy, Snippy, Snookey Squirrel, Snubby Squirrel, Squeaks McCarthy, Teddy Jr., Tiger Jones, Tollivar Turtle, Unbearable Bear, Wacky Coon, Whacky The Inventor, Windy Willy, and Wooly Willie.
Possibly a few others snuck in, but i think i caught them all. Some entries with data missing got taken care of along the way. All new entries have their information at posting.
And, no - that's not a typo. There really is a strip called Buttie And Boobie. (And it came from a guy named Hammer in a title that starts with Frisky) But, it's not what you might be thinking.

Wow, there sure were a ton of funny animal characters in the 40s and early 50s! Makes sense because I assume the writers and artists would just make their own characters, before the days of the Walt Disney Dell comics.
ReplyDeleteThat reaction is exactly what started all this, and why this blog exists now. Even limiting to just the 1940s, i suspect we'll pass 1000 entries before this is done.
DeleteAnd we still haven't even touched the characters from Disney, Warner Bros., and MGM, where all the big theatrical funny animals were hanging out.
