Mr. Magoo first appeared in Gerald McBoing Boing and the Nearsighted Mr. Magoo #1 (1952-08), published by Dell. 20 appearances are indexed across 10 series.

J. Quincy Magoo is an extremely nearsighted old man who refuses to admit and deal with his problem.

He is sometimes joined by his nephew Waldo.
