Funny Stuff #72

A delightful slice of early-1950s DC humor comics, Funny Stuff #72 features the lovable Dodo and the Frog in a wonderfully chaotic cover scene by Otto Feuer — a frantic bird character clutches an axe while billowing clouds of smoke pour through a doorway, and a dazed frog lies flat on the floor below, with the speech bubble urgently asking, "Where are you, Fenimore? Are you all right?" The slapstick energy Feuer brings to every line and puff of smoke is genuinely charming, capturing exactly the kind of warm, goofy mischief that made funny-animal comics so beloved in 1953. At a dime a copy, this was pure entertainment for young readers, and it still radiates that same lighthearted appeal today.
