Super Duck Comics #31
In "A Relative Surprise," Fauntleroy tries to teach his friend the value of proper grammar—only to be outshone by a homeless man with flawless speech and a rich man who can’t form a coherent sentence. Written and drawn by Al Fagaly, this 1950 comic from Super Duck Comics #31 delivers a clever, lighthearted twist on language and class, all rendered in the distinctive style of its creator. The cover by Al Fagaly captures the story’s playful tone with a classic, expressive illustration.
