Cartoon Network Block Party #49

Cartoon Network Block Party #49 spotlights the introduction of Chowder, the roly-poly purple apprentice chef whose mouth is wide open in delighted anticipation as a winged pie — "The Flutter Pie" — takes flight right before his eyes, with his blue rabbit-like companion and a wide-eyed brown bear looking on in equal amazement. Cover pencils by Stephanie Gladden and inks by Mike DeCarlo give the scene a buoyant, cartoonish energy that perfectly captures the show's food-obsessed silliness. The Powerpuff Girls and Camp Lazlo round out this November 2008 DC anthology, making it a cheerful gathering of Cartoon Network favorites.
