Peter Panda #11

Peter Panda #11 brings a delightfully silly premise to its bright red cover, where the little panda himself confronts a flustered Mr. Sandman surrounded by shelves stocked with "Sound Sleep Sand," "Cat Nap Sand," "Long Snooze Sand," and "Deep Slumber Sand." The Sandman sheepishly admits he threw too much sand in the air — putting the whole town to sleep — while Peter looks on with wide-eyed alarm. It's a charming slice of 1955 DC funny-animal storytelling that captures exactly the gentle, warm humor that made this series so appealing to young readers.
