Peter Porkchops #49

The cover of this 1957 DC charmer says it all: Peter Porkchops reads innocently from his "How to Use Mixer" book, deadpanning "It says here 'never whip cream at high speed' — I wonder why, Wolfie?" — while poor Wolfie stands completely engulfed in a billowing cloud of whipped cream, the runaway mixer still spinning beside a box of cream on the counter. Otto Feuer's cover art wrings every drop of slapstick delight from the gag, with Wolfie's indignant expression peeking through the white mess making it impossible not to smile. Inside, Sheldon Mayer handles the full creative duties, so fans of his warm, funny animal storytelling are in for a treat.
