Biddy Buddy is a little duck who evolved into the Hanna-Barbera character Yakky Doodle. He evolved from the little duck character in Hanna and Barbera's Tom and Jerry theatrical shorts. Harvey Eisenberg draws the fox in this story to look very much like Yakky Doodle’s recurring foe, Fibber Fox – at a time (of its original printing) before either Yakky Doodle or Fibber Fox were established as TV characters.
