Animaniacs #12

This cheerful 1996 DC issue opts for pure visual wit over action, presenting a giant yellow smiley face — complete with a flower bow on top — set against a bold purple background, boldly proclaiming itself the "100% Polyester Issue." The retro good-vibes aesthetic perfectly captures the zany humor the Animaniacs series was known for, and the cheeky "Have A Nice Day!!!" tagline promises the kind of self-aware comedy that made the cartoon a sensation. With a story titled "A Blast from Hipsville" written by Gordon Bressack and Charles Howell, and interior art by Walter Carzon and Mike DeCarlo, this issue looks like a genuinely fun slice of '90s animated-comics charm.
