Real Screen Comics #42

This cheerful 1951 DC offering packs 52 big pages of cartoon fun into a single dime, with the Fox and the Crow front and center in a wonderfully chaotic cover scene. The Fox is swinging wildly on a rope around a tall post, bucket of paint in hand, getting splattered right in the face — while down below, the Crow makes his getaway with a birdcage, a woodpecker rat-a-tat-tatting nearby. It's the kind of delightfully slapstick setup that made this series a go-to for fans of animated-style comedy comics in the early 1950s.
