Krazy Komics #10

Krazy Komics #10 brings the laughs in fine 1943 fashion with a cover that perfectly captures the era's wartime humor: a terrified little pig clutches a copy of the Daily Blab whose headline screams "MEAT SHORTAGE TO AFFECT 48 STATES — PORK, HAM, SAUS…" while a grinning, knife-wielding cat in a chef's hat and striped outfit lurks menacingly from the kitchen doorway behind him. A wide-eyed rabbit companion looks on in equal alarm, making the gag impossible to miss. Inside, Al Jaffee — who both wrote and drew the issue — delivers a story titled "Fairy Land," promising the same sharp wit and playful cartooning on display across this charming funny-animal package.
