Leading Comics #39

This cheerful 1949 DC anthology delivers 52 pages of funny-animal fun featuring Peter Porkchops, and Otto Feuer's cover sets the tone perfectly with a gag that's hard not to smile at. The cover shows Peter and his pal Wolfie sharing a tandem bicycle — or rather, arguing about it — with Peter smugly pedaling while Wolfie ends up doing the hard work on all fours at the bottom of the bike. At ten cents, this is lighthearted, well-crafted cartooning from Feuer that captures exactly the kind of warm, comedic mischief that made funny-animal comics a staple of the era.
