Funny Stuff #50

Funny Stuff #50 brings 52 pages of DC's all-ages humor to October 1949, featuring the Dodo and the Frog — both of whom peek cheerfully from the top corners of the bold yellow logo. The real scene-stealer is down on the cliff's edge, where a lanky, red-clad lion eggs on a trembling little mouse with the taunt "Go on, jump! What are you — a mouse or a man?" — a gag that captures the book's warm, silly spirit perfectly. Howie Post's cover art keeps the whole thing light and lively, making this an inviting snapshot of postwar funny-animal comics at their most charming.
