Fawcett's Funny Animals #80

This cheerful 1953 Fawcett offering delivers exactly the kind of slapstick you'd hope for from a title called Funny Animals — the cover by Chad Grothkopf shows a wide-eyed rabbit in a red outfit getting a face full of water, courtesy of a very indignant frog leaping straight off the fishing hook. The gag has terrific timing and energy, with the rabbit's shocked expression and flailing ears selling the comedic moment perfectly. For a dime, readers were promised "more pages of stories," and a cover this lively makes that promise feel like a genuine treat.
