Frankie Doodle, originally called The Doodle Family, is an American comic strip that ran from 1934 to 1938. It was created by Ben Batsford.[1][2][3][4]
Frankie was the main character even when he lived with his family. However, they were all written out by 1935.[2] 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.[4]
The strip was influenced by Little Orphan Annie[5] - Frankie even has curly red hair. Ben Batsford had previously worked on Little Annie Rooney, which was also influenced by Little Orphan Annie.[1]
