New Funnies #100

This milestone 100th issue of Dell's New Funnies arrives in June 1945 with a wonderfully playful cover — a grinning panda-like character gleefully sliding down a chute toward a bucket of water, with a startled chicken tumbling along for the ride. The left side of the cover cheerfully advertises the roster of characters readers can expect inside, including Raggedy Ann, Li'l Eight Ball, Homer Pigeon, Oswald, and Raggedy Andy. It's a charming, lighthearted package that captures exactly the spirit of all-ages comic fun that made Dell's anthology titles so appealing in 1945.
