Animal Antics #12

Two young raccoons wave pennant flags and plead for raccoon-fur coats, blissfully unaware that — as the big, cigar-chomping bear beside them pointedly reminds them — they already are raccoons. Otto Feuer's cover art for this 1948 DC humor title perfectly captures the gentle absurdity that made Animal Antics such a delight, with expressive character work and a punchline delivered entirely in the cover art itself. At 52 pages for a dime, this issue promises a generous helping of that same warm, silly charm.
