Fawcett's Funny Animals #16

Fawcett's Funny Animals #16 from March 1944 delivers exactly what it promises — a rowdy crew of anthropomorphic animals in F.D. gear, piling onto a vintage fire engine at full throttle, with a rabbit pointing the way, a duck up front, and a bear clinging to the top for dear life. The cover tagline says it best: "More fun than riding a fire engine!" and this chaotic, cheerfully rendered scene by Chad makes that claim easy to believe. Topped off with the promise of an Uncle Don story inside, this Fawcett offering is a lively slice of 1944 all-ages comics done with real energy and charm.
