Funnyman #2
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "A Fool's Duel!", Funnyman steps in when a jealous suitor threatens a young woman, leading to a showdown that’s as absurd as it is daring. With a wooden sword and a heart made of red ink, the Daffy Daredevil faces off against the arrogant Charles Cheval in a duel that turns on wit and a well-placed slice. Written by Jerry Siegel and illustrated by Joe Shuster, this 1948 adventure from Magazine Enterprises delivers classic mischief with a dash of physical comedy. The cover, by Creig Flessel and Marvin Stein, captures the scene’s zany tension perfectly.

Larry overhears a young woman pleading with her lover to flee the area, but he (Charles Cheval) threatens any rival of his with death if they try to make a move on Dolores as he leaves. Funnyman decides to teach the man proper American etiquette when it comes to women, and the two end up in a duel. Armed only with a wooden sword, Funnyman is no match for Cheval, who stabs the Daffy Daredevil in the heart, which is really a bag of red ink. When Dolores and her escort see this, she knocks Cheval to the ground, Funnyman slices Cheval's belt (causing his pants to fall down), and Cheval slinks off.
