Moday PSA: Buzzy Scores One for the Handicapped

Buzzy Scores One for the Handicapped! Click for the full page.Buzzy and Wolfie show up in yet another public service ad, this one from March 1951.

For those of you who may be unfamiliar with Buzzy, he was basically DC Comic’s answer to Archie, and he had his own comic from 1945 until 1951. He and his pal/rival Wolfie showed up in quite a few PSAs in other DC comics during that time — sort of a combination house ad/PSA. (It could be worse, at least Buzzy managed to steer clear of starring in over-the-top religious comics like Archie.)

This PSA was written by, of course, Jack Schiff. Art was handled by Win Mortimer, who also handled the art on some of the later Buzzy stories (and a few were written by Jack Schiff as well). This PSA was scanned from Action Comics #154 but can also be found is such comics as Detective Comics #169, Superboy #13 and Wonder Woman #46.

    Of course, the REAL message her is that ugly, short people are jerks! That’s who we should hate.

    Hmm… I could be wrong (and I don’t have the time to search right now), but haven’t you done this PSA before? This looks very familiar, although I may be flashing back to other Buzzy PSAs you’ve posted.

    Sean,

    Nope, this is a new (umm, old) PSA. It does look a lot like all the other Buzzy PSAs though.
