Fawcett's Funny Animals #2

A festive second issue from Fawcett's wartime funny-animal lineup, with cover art by Chad Grothkopf that puts a red-suited, lightning-bolt-emblazoned rabbit front and center before a decorated Christmas tree hung with ornament portraits of the book's animal cast. Wrapped gifts and alphabet blocks spelling out "Merry Christmas" fill the foreground, making this January 1943 issue a cheerful holiday treat. Inside, Grothkopf's "Powerhouse Pete" promises the kind of energetic cartoon adventure that made this anthology a delight for young readers of the era.
