Daffy Duck #28

Daffy Duck strikes a self-satisfied pose at the center of this cheerful 1962 Dell issue, standing confidently inside a looping circle of toy train track while a colorful little locomotive — red caboose, green and purple cars, blue steam engine puffing away — circles around his feet. Phil De Lara's cover art captures the irrepressible duck at his most pleased-with-himself, which naturally hints at all kinds of comedic mischief waiting inside. A delightful slice of early-'60s funny-animal comics that's hard not to smile at.
