In "Zany Starts a Trading Post," Dopsy tries to boost his door-to-door cosmetics business by transforming the Beast—still cursed from a past tale—into a celebrity look-alike. With help from a plastic surgeon and a series of increasingly absurd disguises, the Beast becomes a crooner and a movie star, only to be undone by the wrong kiss. The story, drawn with energetic flair by JCA, captures a whimsical 1946-era twist on classic fairy tale tropes, with Al Fago’s vibrant cover bringing the zany spectacle to life.

Dopsy DurvyBeast

In this delightfully absurd 1946 tale from *Frisky Fables #8*, Dopsy, a determined door-to-door salesman of "Never Fail Cosmetics," sets his sights on transforming the famously grumpy Beast—whose curse can only be broken by a kiss from a beautiful woman—into a heartthrob. With a series of increasingly ridiculous makeovers, from a Sinatra-esque crooner to a double for movie star Chuck Doya, Dopsy’s efforts spiral into chaos, drawing crowds of swooning fans and unexpected disasters. The story unfolds with classic cartoon zaniness, blending vanity, vanity, and the ever-present hope that a single kiss might just change everything.
