Our Gang Comics #38

This September 1947 Dell issue brings together two beloved cartoon universes under one cover, with Tom the cat looking exasperated as a fish leaps free from a fishbowl while the ever-resourceful Jerry Mouse dangles a fishing line with gleeful satisfaction — a perfectly captured moment of their endless rivalry. A film-strip border running down the left side spotlights the familiar faces of the Our Gang kids alongside some animated animal pals, giving the cover a warm, variety-show feel. Tom Hickey's artwork delivers lively, expressive characters that make this a charming snapshot of 1947 all-ages comics at their most fun.
