Fairy Tales #10
In "The Lion and the Mouse," a 1951 Ziff-Davis gem, a young boy named David flees an abusive home and stumbles upon the fearsome fire-breathing dragon Grundlesnitz—only to discover the creature is far more interested in selling toasted-cheese sandwiches than devouring him. With a clever twist on the classic fable, this whimsical tale unfolds in a world where even dragons can have a side hustle, all drawn with sharp, expressive detail by Dave Berg (as Davy Berg).
