Movietown's Animal Antics #31

A cheerful slice of early 1950s funny-animal comics from DC, this issue features the Raccoon Kids in a music lesson gone delightfully chaotic — a lion instructor enthusiastically praises young Rudy's piano playing while another raccoon kid sneaks a peek at a phonograph around the side of the upright piano, the whole bright yellow cover bursting with musical notes and good-natured mischief. With 52 big pages packed into a ten-cent package, it's a generous read by any measure. A warm, lighthearted entry in the Movietown's Animal Antics run that captures exactly the kind of breezy, all-ages fun DC was delivering in 1951.
