History:
(Krazy Komics I#15/6 (fb) - BTS) - Boggle Blackstone
was able to drug and kidnap Santa Claus. Blackstone intended to collect
a ransom from all the children in the town to release Santa, or else no
Christmas presents would be delivered. Blackstone marched Santa to an
old ice storage facility and hid him in a large icebox. Silly Seal
secretly saw Blackstone lead a large tubby man to the building but
thought nothing further of it. Meanwhile, Dexter Brapkin became aware
of Santa's kidnapping and sought out detective Silly Seal for help.
(Krazy Komics I#15/6) - With just two days till
Christmas, Brapkin told Silly, who immediately teamed up with pal Ziggy
Pig and they headed to the ice storage plant. Silly was armed with a
putty blower (a blowpipe for shooting pellets of putty).
Blackstone confronted them inside the building. He dismissed their
stuttering cover lies and easily disarmed them, then locked the pair
into the same icebox as Santa, who remained undaunted and full of
Christmas cheer. Initiating escape, Santa easily kicked down the door,
where Blackstone defied them with his large six-shooter guns. Silly
shoved an ice cake at Blackstone while Santa grabbed the guns, and the
villain was soon bound in ropes. Silly and Ziggy promised to pass
Blackstone to the police as Santa flew off into the sky in his sleigh
pulled by eight reindeer.

No physical stats available in-story, but I'm
guessing his size was around that of Ziggy Seal and Silly Seal.
This was published in Krazy Komics, which overflowed with anthropomorphic beings; this story also starred the anthropomorphic Ziggy Pig and Silly Seal, so I think it's a very safe bet that Boggle Blackstone was such a being too. What kind? Probably something simple and canine like a doberman or wolf, or maybe a ferret. A raccoon would be funny. Personally, I don't trust wild otters or lemurs.

This appears to be the first Marvel appearance (if only in a text story form) of Santa in Marvel comics.
