Dondi
Bt Gus Edson and Irwin Hasen. Dondi wandered onto the scene in Italy, during the closing days of the war. He simply turned up in a deserted farmhouse where U.S. soldiers were staying, carrying no clues about where he'd come from. Unable to find his parents, Corporal Ted Wills assumed responsibility for him � and when "Uncle Ted" resumed civilian life, Dondi took up residence with him in Midville, USA. The early focus of the strip was Dondi's discovery of America. Instead of allowing Dondi to age, Edson and Hasen chose to de-emphasize his origin. Uncle Ted adopted Dondi legally, and became "Dad". Dondi became just another small town kid, having adventures with his gang, The Explorers Club, which consisted of himself, Eddy (the dumb one), Baldy (the scrappy one), Webster (the bookish one with glasses) and Connie (the girl).
