Comic Cavalcade #56

Comic Cavalcade #56 (April–May 1953) delivers a ringside seat to pure animated-animal comedy, as a fox in boxing trunks sends a hapless rabbit sprawling across the canvas while a crow manager leans over the ropes to gloat, "See, Foxie, I told you he'd never lay a glove on you!" The packed crowd of cartoon critters watching from the stands only adds to the cheerful chaos of this delightful DC anthology. Featuring The Fox and the Crow, The Dodo and the Frog, and Nutsy Squirrel, this 15-cent package is a charming snapshot of the funny-animal comics that DC did so well in the early 1950s.
