Hollywood Funny Folks #50

A wolf with a mallet crouches beside a hole in the ground, boasting "and when they come up to take a look — I hit 'em over the head!" while a startled rabbit in a top hat and plaid jacket looks on next to a telescope and a "See the Stars — Free!" sign — it's the kind of absurdist setup that made DC's funny-animal titles such a delight in 1952. Rube Grossman's cover art brings real energy to the gag, with two more wide-eyed critters peering out from inside the title lettering above. Hollywood Funny Folks #50 is a cheerful ten-cent slice of mid-century cartoon comedy that delivers its punchline right on the cover.
