Huckleberry Hound #16

Hanna-Barbera's lovable blue hound takes center stage on this cheerful 1962 Dell issue, shown roller-skating with his trademark bow tie and pork-pie hat while squirting oil into one of his wheels — a perfectly silly bit of self-maintenance mid-roll. It's the kind of easygoing, good-natured charm that made Huckleberry Hound a household favorite, and the warm pink cover practically radiates that laid-back Southern drawl. Fans of Huck's gentle humor will find this April issue a delightful snapshot of the character at his most endearingly carefree.
