Real Screen Comics #12

This 1947 DC funny-animal gem features the Fox and the Crow in a deliciously sinister kitchen scene — the Fox, decked out in chef's hat and apron, stirs a steaming pot while cheerfully declaring "I'm so glad you could come for dinner, Mr. Crow!" as a wide-eyed Crow looks on, blissfully unaware of the shelf stocked with boxes labeled "Poison," "Paris Green," and "Crow Poison" looming above. The cover's dark comedic twist is played with perfectly light cartoon charm, the kind of gag that makes you grin and groan at the same time. Tito and his Burrito peek in from the top corner as well, rounding out this lively ten-cent package of animated-style fun.
