Sad thing is Paddy was from Limivady and the son of a Protestant butcher. Shame once he got on the box in American he was type cast. His da played the lambeg. Shame.
For a time, "PADDY" was seen on ABC's East Coast and Midwest networks as a weekday afternoon series from Chicago in 1950. Perhaps the producers of the series were aiming for a syndicated cartoon version in 1954, in partnership with Sam Singer. It might have worked....

My late dad told me he drew Paddy the Pelican, perhaps after Sam Singer passed away?

My dad told me he used to draw Paddy the Pelican...maybe after Sam Singer passed away? This was in the early 50s in Chicago.
