Paddy the Pelican began in 1950 as a local TV puppet show on Chicago's WENR-TV. Paddy's adventures were presented in comic strip drawings done by Sam Singer.In 1954 Paddy appeared in six animated films done by Singer. The films, while nicely crafted, were essentially pencil tests.

Nov 18, 2008 - 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....
