Jolly Jingles #14

This Summer 1944 MLJ offering features Super Duck — "the Cockeyed Wonder" — in a wonderfully goofy magic-act gone wrong: a top-hatted dog in a blue suit is consulting his "Magic Trix" handbook mid-sawing-a-duck-in-a-box trick, prompting Super Duck to holler "Now he tells me!!" from inside the crate. Harry Sahle's cover art captures the slapstick charm perfectly, and Red Holmdale brings the interior pages to life with the same breezy humor. For fans of funny-animal comics at their most cheerfully absurd, this one delivers the goods at ten cents a pop.
