Fawcett's Funny Animals #40

The cover of this July 1946 issue puts Hoppy the Marvel Bunny front and center in his red superhero suit, gleefully swinging what appears to be a bell while a cowboy animal character looks on in surprise — and down below, a cheerful little pig character helps paste up the bold Fawcett's Funny Animals title banner. Approved for reading by the Magazine Editorial Advisory Board, this anthology promises laughs from a whole roster of characters including Billy the Kid, Sherlock the Monk, Willie the Worm, and Uncle Don. At just ten cents, issue #40 is a bright, lively package of mid-1940s funny-animal fun that wears its wholesome charm right on its sleeve.
