Real Screen Comics #43

Real Screen Comics #43 delivers a perfectly timed gag right on its cover: the Fox is gleefully juggling what the Crow has labeled "Special Juggling Balls" — except the crate beneath him clearly reads "Hand Grenades." The Crow, dapper in his little purple hat and red scarf, strolls alongside with a mischievous quip: "Everything'll be okay, Foxie — as long as y'don't DROP any!" With 52 big pages of this kind of cheerful cartoon comedy for just a dime, this 1951 DC offering is a warm reminder of how much fun funny-animal comics could pack into a single issue.
