D Is For Antbear...?

EDIT: This series is currently being expanded into a separate website, The 1940s Funny Animalphabet.

Continuing our incomplete compendium of Funny Animals of the 1940s from this morning's post -

D:

Daffy Dragon
(HC = Ellis Chambers. Yes, don't worry. We'll come back to play in Daffy's wonderland)

Dandy Rabbit
JCA is the Jason Comic Art Studio, not an individual.

Dinky Duck

Dipsy Doodle

Ditto

Dizzy Dog
It probably won't surprise Sheldon Mayer fans to see his signature a fair bit on these works.

Don Bugaboo and Fatcho
I've never seen the Homasty signature on anything except a couple Don Bugaboo tales.

Doodles Duck
(See?)

Dopsy Durvy

Drippo The Hippo
(that's Bill Hudson, if you're having trouble making out the first name. No Emu.)

Droopy The Antbear and Reddy Fox
(See? I told you D was for Antbear. (Yes, Antbear is another name for Aardvark))

Dusty and Rusty

E:

Eager Beaver
(O.F. = Otto Feur)

Eddie Elephant

Eeny, Meeny and Moe
(Howie Post, rapidly becoming a regular around here)

Egbert and the Count
(Hart = Ernie Hart)

F:

Flash The Fox
(Drawn by Joe Edwards, too)

Flip & Dip
(Artist unknown, but written by the author of our ongoing serial, Twin Earths.)

Flippity and Flop

Foolie Fox
(sorry - even at full size, i can't make out the signature. Maybe it's familiar to someone?)

Fox (Crazy Like A...)
(The series name is Crazy Like A Fox, but the character is merely named Fox)

Foxy Fagan

Fraidy Cat

Francois Feline, Esq.

Freddy Fixit
(Of course, he later sold the business to Felix)

Frency Rabbit and Flippit

Frosty and Gabbie

Frowsy and Fuzzy

Funny Bunny
(That's Hal Lockwood in the small print)

(Funny Fez only had seven stories (and one cover). Perhaps he was a bit too odd?)
We return in another 3 hours to continue from G.
