Answer: The character was Bert the turtle.

Step-by-step explanation:

Federal Civil Defense proposed an advertising campaing in 1952 called "Duck and Cover". The main character was the heroic Bert the turtle whose function in that educational/propaganda cartoon was to make an atomic bomb attack seem safer than it really was.
