Comic Cavalcade #57

A birthday party is in full swing on this cheerful 1953 DC cover, where Foxie the fox is so transfixed by a towering, candle-lit cake that the frog presenting it and the other animal pals gathered around — plus a mountainous stack of "Happy Birthday Foxie" gift boxes — barely get a second glance. The cover's warm, playful charm captures exactly what made Comic Cavalcade such a fun anthology, bringing together The Fox and the Crow, The Dodo and the Frog, and Nutsy Squirrel all under one roof. For fans of DC's mid-century funny-animal comics, issue #57 is a genuinely delightful slice of lighthearted humor from the era.
