Mrs. Biggs

Few characters capture the warm, wisecracking spirit of postwar American domestic comedy quite like Mrs. Biggs, who stepped onto the scene in the very first issue of Leave It to Binky in 1948 — a Golden Age debut that placed her at the heart of one of DC's most charming humor titles. Created by the talented trio of Hal Seegar, Sheldon Mayer, and Bob Oksner, she's a fixture of the Biggs household, sharing pages with the likes of Allergy Biggs, Binky Biggs, Mr. Biggs, Lucy Biggs, and Peggy Baxter across a run that stretched through the 1950s. Her appearances spread across Leave It to Binky, Peter Porkchops, and the beloved anthology Comic Cavalcade, and with five of her 22 catalog appearances recognized as collector-significant key issues, she's more than just background charm. For fans of Golden Age slice-of-life comedy and the lighter, laugh-filled side of DC's early output, Mrs. Biggs is a delightful reminder of just how much fun the funny pages could be.
