Daffy #7

Daffy Duck takes center stage on this cheerful 1956 Dell cover, wings spread wide as he strides forward with a self-satisfied grin, tangled up in the strings of three colorful kites — green, red, and blue — that tug and swirl around him with ribboned bows. Phil De Lara's clean, expressive linework captures the duck's trademark blend of confidence and barely contained chaos perfectly. With a story titled "Pelican Hitchhiking" inside, this October–December issue promises the kind of lighthearted, bird-brained adventure that made Dell's funny animal comics such a delight in the mid-1950s.
