A long time ago, in the UsefulNotes/GoldenAgeOfComicBooks, Ziggy Pig and Silly Seal were two of Timely Comics' most popular FunnyAnimal characters. But the team broke up decades ago, with Silly Seal becoming rich and famous on his own while Ziggy Pig sank into obscurity. However, a recent scandal with ComicBook/{{Deadpool}} has renewed public interest in the duo, and now ComicBook/DoctorDoom has summoned them for a reunion at his castle in Latveria.

* MoneyDumb: Part of the reason Ziggy Pig is perpetually broke is because he's careless with his money. He didn't invest in a tuna cannery with Silly Seal (despite Silly begging him to be his partner), thus missing the opportunity that Silly built into a fortune. Later, after Ziggy returns from Latveria and is flush with money, he invests it all in [[ComicBook/SpiderMan Oscorp]], even as [[Characters/MarvelComicsNormanOsborn the disgraced CEO]] is locked up in an asylum and the stock is in freefall...
