Peter Porkchops #19

Peter Porkchops — "America's Favorite Pig" — is in fine form on this December–January 1952 DC number, with Otto Feuer's cover art delivering a perfectly timed gag: Peter stands on a stool, mallet raised and grinning, urging an oblivious Wolfie to keep his eye glued to a "See the Stars — Only 10¢" telescope while the punchline is clearly about to arrive. The cityscape and crescent moon set a cheerful nighttime scene that makes the setup feel just right. Warm, funny, and timed to a T — this is the kind of all-ages humor that made Peter Porkchops a reliable treat throughout the early 1950s.
