Four Color #802

There's something wonderfully self-defeating about Goofy's approach to self-improvement: the cover by Paul Murry shows Disney's lovable oaf completely tangled in a mass of thick rope, his "How to Tie Knots" book sitting on the ground beside him — apparently a little too successful a study session. This 1957 Dell issue captures everything endearing about the character in a single glance, delivering that signature mix of good intentions and cheerful catastrophe.
