According to the Seattle Daily Times, Waddles was a continuation of his father's duck, associated with the weather man.[3] John Hager had to discontinue his illustrating when his eyes went, and his children ran the Waddles comic strip.[4] John's daughter, Mrs. George Dearborne, wrote the rhyming lines to go with the cartoon, while son George Hager did the illustration.[3][4]
