How many of my fellow Kossacks can remember, without reading below, who the above is a picture of.
He was in a comic strip that was my favorite as a child. The strip ran from 1955 to 1986….and was not your typical ha ha comic strip. To read more about the strip go here or here.
Give up? Dondi!
Dondi's original backstory describes him as a five-year-old WW II orphan of Italian descent. The boy had no memory of his parents or his name, so when a pretty Red Cross worker said he was "a dandy boy," he thought she was naming him "Dondi." Two soldiers who spoke no Italian, Ted Wills and Whitey McGowan, found the child wandering through a war-torn village. The soldiers brought the child back to the United States and Ted eventually became his adoptive father.
If you do the google image search on him you can find many of his old strips.
How about you? When you were a youngin’ what was your favorite comic strip?
