Porky Pig #65

This cheerful 1959 Dell issue finds Porky Pig at the center of a delightfully absurd summer moment — the cover, illustrated by Ralph Heimdahl, shows two pig characters eyeing a towering ice cream cone that's had a baseball land squarely on top of it, while the smaller pig clutches a tennis racket, suggesting the accidental culprit isn't hard to identify. The bright green background and the duo's wide-eyed expressions capture exactly the kind of light, breezy comedy Dell did so well during this era. At just a dime, it's a warm snapshot of mid-century funny animal comics at their most purely enjoyable.
