Frankie Doodle, originally called The Doodle Family, is an American comic strip that ran from April 23, 1934, to 1938.[1] It was created by Ben Batsford.[2][3][4][5]
Frankie was the main character even when he lived with his family. However, they were all written out by 1935.[3] Frankie is pursued throughout the strips by Mr. Shady, a disreputable lawyer who is after the fortune to which he is heir, and Mrs. Krule, who runs an orphanage. He has two Chinese mentors: Ming Low, a cook, and Captain Ku, a secret agent. He often has adventures in Chinatown, the North Woods, and the Wild West. The strip ran in 87 newspapers.[5]
The strip was influenced by Little Orphan Annie[6] - Frankie even has curly red hair. Ben Batsford had previously worked on Little Annie Rooney, which was also influenced by Little Orphan Annie.[2]
