Uncle Wiggily

Uncle Wiggily is an elderly but sprightly rabbit gentleman who starred in a long-running series of children's books and stories. Created by Howard R. Garis in 1910, Uncle Wiggily Longears' advanced age has left him with rheumatism and walking with a brightly striped cane, but it doesn't stop him from getting into adventures while helping his friends. He's beloved by the other improbably named animals, including housekeeper Nurse Jane Fuzzy-Wuzzy and Wibblewobble family of ducks. His few foes, bullying predators, have even more outlandish names, such as the Bad Pipsisewah and the Skeezicks.
Uncle Wiggily also appeared in Dell comic books (sometimes drawn by Walt Kelly) and a newspaper comic strip. While the books continued to be reprinted sporadically into the 1990s, Uncle Wiggily's most enduring form has been as a board game, first released by Milton Bradley in 1916 and remaining in print through changes in game companies.
