Four Color #1349

Hanna-Barbera's most beloved picnic enthusiast takes his act to the world stage in this 1962 Dell one-shot, with cover art by Fred Fredericks placing Yogi Bear — top hat, collar, and tie firmly in place — right on the plaza of the United Nations building, happily munching a sandwich while an open lunch box, a thermos, and scattered papers sit at his feet. The real UN Secretariat tower looms behind him in a photograph-backed composition that's equal parts diplomacy and snack time. Paul S. Newman's script and Fredericks' art promise the same cheerful mischief that made Yogi a Hanna-Barbera favorite, just with considerably more international flair.
