Funny Stuff #45

A delightful entry in DC's long-running humor anthology, this May 1949 issue features the Dodo and the Frog in a wonderfully chaotic library scene — the Dodo has toppled a towering bookshelf, sending volumes flying in every direction while a ladder crashes down, all to the horror of a "Quiet in the Library, Please!" sign. Meanwhile, the unflappable Frog sits calmly at a nearby table, nose buried in a book, completely unbothered by the avalanche of literature above him. Otto Feuer's cover art captures that perfect slapstick timing that made Funny Stuff a cheerful staple of postwar comics, packed into a generous 52 pages for just ten cents.
