Peter Porkchops #24

Peter Porkchops #24 delivers a perfectly timed bit of slapstick comedy right on the cover, where a scheming wolf plots to bicycle through a puddle and drench our cheerful pig hero — only to end up completely submerged in a spectacular "SPLASH!" himself. Otto Feuer's bright, expressive cartooning captures the classic comic reversal with genuine charm, and the two-panel cover tells the whole joke with satisfying economy. A delightful 1953 entry from DC's "America's Favorite Pig.
