Ruff and Reddy #8

Hanna-Barbera's mismatched duo are front and center in this cheerful 1961 Dell offering, with Reddy the dog enthusiastically scrubbing himself in a sudsy washtub while an unsuspecting Ruff the cat gets a faceful of soapy brush spray. The bright orange cover perfectly captures the slapstick charm that made these two such a beloved team, and at a dime a copy, it was hard-to-resist fun for any young reader. A delightful snapshot of early-'60s all-ages comics at their lighthearted best.
