Leading Screen Comics #47

Peter Porkorchops is serving up some classic comic mischief in this 1951 DC gem — dressed in his chef's hat and apron, the cheerful pig stands behind a diner counter announcing "Everything on the Menu FREE!" while simultaneously informing his stunned, drooling wolf customer that he owes $5.23, with only the salt shaker being complimentary. Otto Feuer's crisp, expressive linework gives the gag a wonderfully absurd timing that feels right at home in the funny-animal tradition. With 52 big pages for just a dime, this issue offers a generous helping of lighthearted entertainment anchored by that perfectly deadpan punchline on the cover.
