New Funnies #66

Andy Panda takes center stage on this charming 1942 Dell cover, grinning broadly as he mans a lemonade stand offering ice-cold drinks at one cent a glass "for the bennyfit of the soldiers an' sailors" — a sweet wartime patriotic touch. Two kids hold up the hand-lettered sign behind him, and the red side-bar promises a full roster of beloved funny-paper friends inside, including Raggedy Ann, Raggedy Andy, Felix the Cat, Peter Rabbit, and Oswald. With artwork by George Kerr, this ten-cent anthology captures the warm, community-spirited mood of home-front America in a genuinely delightful package.
