New Funnies #99

A Walter Lantz production comes to life on this cheerful 1945 Dell offering, where a chef-hatted panda character takes center stage in a kitchen catastrophe — a cake erupting with green vegetables and pink filling while a startled chicken looks on in alarm. The bright yellow cover also spotlights the roster of characters waiting inside, with portrait medallions for Raggedy Ann, Li'l Eight Ball, Homer Pigeon, Oswald, and Raggedy Andy lining the left side. Cover art by Dan Gormley keeps everything lively and warm, making this a genuinely fun snapshot of mid-1940s all-ages comics entertainment.
