Animaniacs #20

The Warner siblings are playing dress-up in grand style on the cover of this 1996 DC issue, with Yakko sporting a cowboy hat as "the Oil Tycoon," Dot scowling her way through the role of "the Troubled Youth," and Wakko — somehow — cast as "the Down-Home Sausage," complete with a sausage costume that suits him perfectly. The film-strip banner proclaiming "Rebels Just 'Cause" sets a wonderfully deadpan tone, promising the kind of absurdist parody the Animaniacs do so well. Cover pencils by Omar Aranda and inks by Horacio Ottolini give the trio a bright, polished look that captures the show's anarchic charm in a single spotlight moment.
