Four Color #293

Dell's Four Color #293 from 1950 brings the mischievous little Brownies to life in a wonderfully chaotic waffle-making misadventure. Don Gunn's cover depicts a swarm of the tiny imp-like creatures overrunning a giant waffle iron — riding freshly made waffles, stirring batter in an oversized bowl, wrestling with a box of waffle mix, and generally turning breakfast into beautiful bedlam. With 52 pages of all-comics content and a dime price tag, this is a cheerful slice of mid-century Dell fun that captures the Brownies' playful spirit perfectly.
