About the series
Martin Naydel, Sheldon Mayer, and Woody Gelman helmed this lively 1950s DC series starring Nutsy Squirrel, a cheeky woodland prankster whose antics were brought to life by artists including Rube Grossman and Raymond Perry. Across its twelve-issue run, the title gathered a cast of regulars like The Professor, Robert Rabbit, Amster the Hamster, Dizzy Dog, and Doodles Duck for a charming blend of slapstick and gentle humor. Though brief, Nutsy Squirrel stands as a snapshot of DC’s mid-century foray into talking-animal comics, offering a playful, unpretentious escape that reflects the era’s love for funny-animal hijinks.
