Marmaduke Mouse #40

This cheerful Quality Comics offering from August 1953 puts the grinning, diaper-clad Marmaduke front and center — literally leaping out of an oversized bowl, silverware flying and steam puffing, with all the boundless energy that made this little mouse a fan favorite. The cover promises plenty of fun inside, advertising three Marmaduke adventures alongside two Prince Pinky stories, making it a genuinely generous ten-cent package. It's a warm, playful snapshot of early-'50s funny-animal comics at their most lighthearted.
