Funny Animals #87

Charlton's Funny Animals #87 from 1954 brings together the charm of TV and radio personality the Merry Mailman in a lively cover by Al Fago — featuring a black-and-white photo of the star alongside a grinning cartoon elf in a party hat and a cartoon mailman in a bright blue uniform, all gathered around an oversized addressed envelope. The "Approved Wholesome Entertainment" seal and the promise of adventures, cartoons, puzzles, and coloring pages make this a genuinely well-rounded package for young readers of the era. Fago's cheerful, rounded character designs give the cover a warm, playful energy that perfectly suits the Merry Mailman's family-friendly appeal.
