Real Screen Comics #35

This 1951 DC offering packs a delightful 52 pages of funny-animal fun, with cover art by Jim Davis placing Fauntleroy Fox squarely on the campaign trail — top hat flying and expression flustered — as he promises to kiss babies while a skeptical crow, a mama pig, and a duck with a rather spiky infant look on with varying degrees of enthusiasm. The gag practically writes itself, and the colorful chaos of the scene captures exactly the warm, silly spirit that made Real Screen Comics such a treat for mid-century readers. Starring the Fox and the Crow with stories by William Schreiber, this is a thoroughly charming slice of postwar cartoon comics.
