Chocodile (Johnsonverse)

Chocodile is a funny animal cartoon character. He was created by then-head of Johnson Industries, Vincent Johnson, at the Johnson Studios in 1937.

An anthropomorphic brown crocodile, Chocodile, despite loving chocolate, is thin and surprisingly athletic. He is one of the world's most recognizable characters, debuting in a series of theatrical animated short films that has run since 1937, receiving a newspaper comic strip that has run since 1940, a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1998, and other forms of merchandising. He has starred in twelve movies, beginning with Chocodile in Candy World in 1942, and eight television series, starting with The Chocodile Club (created in the wake of The Mickey Mouse Club) in 1958.

Early development
According to Vincent Johnson in a 1943 interview, the character "came to him in a dream in 1935", in which several crocodiles walking in twos were repeating, "Chocodile", and that when he woke up the next day, Johnson started drawing several designs for the character, before getting the famous "brown crocodile" look.
