Alvin #17

A day at the circus goes delightfully sideways on this December 1966 Dell cover, where Alvin is perched atop an elephant, gleefully scrubbing it with a soapy brush while bubbles drift everywhere. Simon and Theodore look on from behind, surrounded by bars of soap and circus tent scenery, as the cover promises "fun, excitement and danger galore with the Chipmunks!" A charming slice of mid-1960s all-ages comics energy that captures the trio's knack for turning any situation into cheerful chaos.
