Daffy Duck #26

This cheerful 1961 Dell issue puts Daffy Duck front and center in a sun-drenched scene, perched atop a relaxed, bare-chested fellow lounging in a lawn chair beneath a bright yellow sun — and Daffy looks anything but pleased about the arrangement. Phil De Lara's cover art captures the duck's signature indignant glare perfectly, promising the kind of slapstick friction that made these Dell funny-animal books such a delight. Toss in a Big Del Comics Contest and a trading post offer, and this 15-cent package delivers plenty of summer fun.
