Comic Cavalcade #47

A chaotic game of musical chairs has gone hilariously wrong on Rube Grossman's cover for this 1951 DC anthology, with a hapless dog character buried under a spectacular pile of smashed yellow chairs while a grinning crow plays piano and a crowd of anthropomorphic animals — including the Fox, the Frog, and friends — look on in amusement. At 15 cents, this oversized 76-page edition bundles together The Fox and the Crow, The Dodo and the Frog, and Nutsy Squirrel for a generous serving of funny-animal fun. It's a warm slice of early-'50s comic comedy with a cover gag that practically writes its own punchline.
