“Celebration on a Sour Note!”

This 1946 DC humor title puts the spotlight on Nero Fox, "the jive-jumping emperor of ancient Rome," in a gag that lands perfectly on the cover: a rotund, candy-clutching Nero admires his reflection in an ornate golden mirror, quipping "Why should I bother dieting when I have a mirror like THIS?!?" A tiny Roman soldier stands at attention nearby while a small bird hovers above, adding to the cheerful absurdity. Ed Dunn's cartooning is loose and warm throughout, making this ten-cent slice of ancient-Rome comedy a genuinely fun snapshot of postwar funny-animal comics at their most playful.
