Fawcett's Funny Animals #66

A cheerful carnival atmosphere bursts off this Spring 1950 cover, where a dapper rabbit in a red circus ringmaster's costume waves a cane and beckons readers — "Crawl through the opening in the tent for the greatest entertainment in the world!" — while a pink bunny and a masked animal look on in delight. Banners on either side spotlight familiar funny-animal favorites Sherlock the Monk and Billy the Kid, promising a packed issue of variety entertainment. Chad Grothkopf's bright, expressive linework gives the whole scene an irresistible big-top energy that perfectly suits Fawcett's ten-cent anthology at its lively best.
