Adventures of Pinky Lee, Tiny Tears and Sweet Sue Getting us ready for the 2020 National Convention we wanted to take a look at the 1950s. Adventures of Pinky Lee, Tiny Tears and Sweet Sue was published in 1955 by the American Character Doll Company. This 12-page color comic book features Pinky interacting with Tiny Tears Sweet Sue and Toodles, all dolls produced by American Character. In 1950 Pinky Lee had his own 30-minute prime time variety television show on NBC which featured vaudevillians and burlesque comics. In 1954 his show, now sponsored by Tootsie Roll, changed to an afternoon children's program which was followed each day by the Howdy Doody Show. 132 WINTER 2020
