Leading Screen Comics #59

A wintry scene sets the stage as Peter Porkchops skates smugly across the ice while his hapless wolf companion crashes through a hole, flailing helplessly in the freezing water — the speech bubble asking "Isn't it a little early for swimming, Wolfie?" perfectly captures the cheeky humor DC's funny-animal line did so well in 1953. Otto Feuer's cover work is warm and expressive, giving both characters a lively rubbery energy against a snowy backdrop of frosted trees and pale winter skies. A charming slice of mid-century all-ages comics that showcases why Leading Screen Comics was a reliable treat on the spinner rack.
