Little Max Comics #24

This 1953 Harvey charmer finds Little Max in full frustrated stride, hauling a fishing pole over his shoulder with nothing to show for his efforts but a bare fish skeleton dangling from the line — much to the delight of a grinning tabby cat who looks absolutely thrilled with the situation. By Ham Fisher, the cover captures that perfect slapstick energy of a kid's day gone hilariously wrong, all against a bold red background that practically jumps off the page. A delightful entry in this Joe Palooka spin-off series aimed squarely at young readers.
