Little Audrey
Encyclopedia
Little Audrey is a fictional character
, appearing in Paramount Pictures
' Famous Studios
cartoons from 1947 to 1958. She is considered a variation of the better-known Little Lulu
, devised after Paramount decided not to renew the license on Marjorie Henderson Buell's comic strip character. Despite some superficial similarities between the two characters, the Famous animators were at pains to design Audrey in contrast to Lulu, adopting an entirely different color scheme and employing the stylistic conventions common to Famous Studios' later '40s repertoire, as opposed to Buell's individualistic rendering of Little Lulu. Little Audrey was voiced by Mae Questel
, who had also voiced Little Lulu
, as well as most of Paramount's other major female cartoon characters including Betty Boop
and Olive Oyl
.
cartoon Olive Oyl for President
. Her first starring vehicle was the Noveltoons short Butterscotch and Soda, released July 16, 1948. In common with many animated shorts of the period, child-like fantasy played an important role in Audrey's early cartoons, which often used dream sequences as the basis of the storylines. In this way, Audrey could ride the clouds with Mother Goose (Goofy Goofy Gander, 1950), attend a wedding in Cakeland (Tarts and Flowers, also 1950), or face an underwater tribunal of outraged catfish (The Seapreme Court, 1954). Slapstick humor crept into the series with the release of Surf Bored (1953), which pitted the precocious little girl against a hulking but ultimately brainless life guard. A total of sixteen Noveltoons starring Audrey were produced for theatrical release sets in 1900s, several of which were re-packaged for television from the late 50s on.
She was the only character in the Noveltoons series to have their own theme song with vocals ("Little Audrey Says", by Winston Sharples
and Buddy Kaye). Some other characters (and certain one-shots) in the series had their own themes, but were entirely instrumental. Two other Noveltoons spin-offs, Casper the Friendly Ghost
and Herman and Katnip
had their own vocal themes, but only after leaving the Noveltoons series.
in 1956. Only two Little Audrey cartoons were syndicated with U.M.&M. titles. National Telefilm Associates
completed the refilming of the titles to the other Little Audrey cartoons that were sold to U.M.&M. The post-September 1950 cartoons would be sold to Harvey Comics
, when they acquired the rights to the character in 1959. Some prints of Little Audrey cartoons survive with their Paramount "spinning star" openings intact.
Meanwhile, Olive Oyl for President would be sold along with the rest of the Popeye series to Associated Artists Productions
. In fact, the cartoon's closing music would be used as the theme for the company's closing logo from the Popeye cartoons originally released in Technicolor
, just as the cartoon's opening theme (which actually was on most color releases from 1943 to early 1948) would be used on the a.a.p. opening logo for these cartoons.

, but the character had considerable success in printed form. The first Little Audrey comic book series was St. John Publications
from April 1948 to May 1952. Featuring stories which depended more on situation comedy than on fantasy, the comics featured artwork done in a style approximating the original Famous character designs (most of them by Steve Muffati). The series met with moderate success on the newsstand, running for approximately twenty-four issues until Little Audrey was licensed by Harvey Comics
in 1952.
Initially, Harvey's comic-book version closely followed its animated template, but the character was redesigned during the mid-fifties to conform more closely to the company's in-house style. The general storyline was simultaneously overhauled to provide Audrey with supporting characters such as Melvin Wisenheimer, her ugly, prankish archrival, and Tiny, a young black
boy. Domestic comedy gradually took over the scripts, as Audrey was shown in conflict with parents, teachers, and other authority figures.
Harvey purchased the rights to all of Famous' original properties - Little Audrey included - in 1958, also acquiring the rights to the post-1950 Audrey cartoons. It was during this time that the "definitive" Audrey came into being, taking on the signature red dress and appearance most often associated with the character. By 1960, Little Audrey was the best known of Harvey's female characters due to her multi-media presence (comic books, television/theatrical animation and - briefly - newspaper strips), although her popularity was later eclipsed by the company's other female characters, Little Dot
, Wendy the Good Little Witch
and Little Lotta
.
Later comic series were titled Playful Little Audrey and Little Audrey & Melvin. In the latter, Audrey and Melvin become less antagonistic and Audrey demonstrates affections for and jealousy towards him, much like Little Lulu had tone with Tubby Tompkins.
During her most successful period, Audrey starred in at least four of her own titles and was a back-up feature in Richie Rich, Casper, and Dot. The character lasted until 1976, when an industry-wide distribution slump brought an end to most of Harvey's line and most children's comics in general. Since that time, the character has undergone several revivals and made scattered television and video appearances, most notably in The Richie Rich Show
(1996) and Baby Huey's Great Easter Adventure (1998).
As the character audrey frequently ends her Noveltoon animations by laughing hysterically, it seems likely she is based on this folklore that precedes the animations.

"Little Audrey" jokes
Little Audrey jokes were in circulation in the 1930s, according to B.A. Botkin in his book A Treasury of American Folktales (1944):- Little Audrey is a folk-lore character about whom thousands of nonsensical short tales during the past five or six years — have been told. Sometimes Little Audrey parades as Little Emma or Little Gertrude, but she usually is recognizable by a catch phrase 'she just laughed and laughed'. The amusing incident is typically a catastrophe. Little Audrey sees the humor in any situation.
As the character audrey frequently ends her Noveltoon animations by laughing hysterically, it seems likely she is based on this folklore that precedes the animations.
An interesting aside
Issue #75 of Playful Little Audrey (April, 1968), containing the story "The ETC Sitter," indicates that Little Audrey's last name is Smith. This is confirmed in "Little Audrey and Melvin and The Secret of Silent Island" where Audrey's friend Lucretia (visiting her uncle Bruce Bagley) refers to Audrey's mother as "Mrs. Smith".The comic "Little Audrey and Melvin and Cousin Suzie's Dance Party" reveals that she has a cousin named Suzie who has a friend named Bubu.
Appearance
Little Audrey has brown hair with ribbons. She wears a little dress with puffed sleeves, white ankle socks, and black Mary JaneMary Jane (shoe)
