“The Last Answer!”

The cover of this November 1946 DC title is pure slapstick gold — a hapless fellow named Dumbbell has constructed a house completely upside down, leaving a bewildered man in a striped suit scolding him while Dumbbell himself sits sprawled on the tilted porch with a saw nearby, grumbling "No wonder I keep falling off the porch!" A cat peers down curiously from what should be the foundation, now perched at the roofline, capping off the absurdity perfectly. Sheldon Mayer's cover art captures the lighthearted humor that made All-American Comics a delight, with Green Lantern keeping watch from his inset corner portrait as always.
