Incidentally, I can't actually remember how long it's been since I last saw a Barney Bear cartoon. Must be decades.Kidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07224781868125924337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3740495193314269367.post-211498988900349672017-02-20T20:39:13.620+00:002017-02-20T20:39:13.620+00:00Benny the Burro first appeared in a cartoon where ...Benny the Burro first appeared in a cartoon where Barney Bear was prospecting for gold. He was only in two or three animated cartoons, but became a regular co-star for Barney in the comic books. <br /><br />Similarly, AFAIR, team-ups and crossovers with Looney Tunes (or Toons?) characters in comic books were almost the opposite of the movies. Daffy Duck often co-starred with Bugs Bunny or Porky Pig in animated cartoons, but seldom appeared with either of them in comic books. And Porky seemed to be Bugs Bunny's semi-regular sidekick in comic books, but they rarely appeared together in animated cartoons.

I had a few of those Carl Barks Barney strips in comic form. and like everything that man drew it was excellent - I seem to recall having a few strips of Barks with Barney and a Donkey.Paul McScotty Muirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16300292599442281225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3740495193314269367.post-91860678352475101932017-02-18T03:43:29.071+00:002017-02-18T03:43:29.071+00:00Thanks, human comics encyclopedia TC.

I don't know if there was ever a Barney newspaper strip in the US, but Barney, Droopy, and some other MGM characters did appear in stories that ran as back-ups in Gold Key/Western's Tom & Jerry comic books. <br /><br />Some Barney Bear stories were by Carl Barks, and some of those were reprinted in Harvey comic books sometime around 1990, when that company acquired a license to publish comics using the MGM cartoon characters.
