Funny Folks #26

Fifty-two pages of cartoon comedy await in this 1950 DC gem, with Mutsy Squirrel featured front and center. Rube Grossman's cover sets the slapstick tone beautifully: a rotund bear barber, dressed in chef's whites and wielding scissors, attends to a hapless customer draped in a barber's cape and slumped in the chair, while a mischievous small character peeks out from the title lettering above. It's the kind of cheerful, anything-can-happen funny-animal fun that made ten cents feel like a bargain in 1950.
