“Hippo My Dreams”

In "Hippo My Dreams," a delightfully silly tale from 1954, Custer and Cheesy trade misunderstandings in a comedic game of wits, each falling for the double meanings of words like "cipher" and "egress." With playful art by Rube Grossman on both interior and cover, this lighthearted adventure showcases the charm of early DC humor through clever wordplay and classic slapstick.
