Real Screen Comics #22

The Crow stands smugly atop a cliff ledge next to a "Do Not Pick the Flowers!" sign while the Fox tumbles helplessly over the edge, clutching a stolen bloom — a perfectly timed bit of cartoon justice that sums up this duo's delightful dynamic. At 52 pages for just ten cents, this 1949 DC offering packs in plenty of animated-style fun, with two additional characters peeking cheerfully from the corners of the cover. If you enjoy warm, character-driven humor with a slapstick twist, Real Screen Comics #22 is a charming snapshot of mid-century funny animal comics at their most playful.
