Ideal Comics #3

The summer issue of Ideal Comics #3 from 1945 serves up a sunny beach-party vibe, with Super Rabbit waterskiing in full cape-and-costume glory while towing a boat packed with cheerful animal pals — a fox, a bear, a smaller bear, a rabbit, and a pig — all waving and grinning as they skim across the water beneath a pennant reading "Ideal Beach Party." It's a wonderfully lighthearted ten-cent package that captures the carefree spirit of a 1945 summer afternoon in bright, inviting color. Fans of funny-animal comics will find this one hard to resist.
