Terry-Toons Comics #14

Terry-Toons Comics #14 brings a burst of wartime slapstick humor straight from November 1943, with a cover scene that's equal parts chaotic and charming. A giant, wide-eyed bear clings in panic to a duck soldier in a blue military helmet, who cheerfully reassures him — "You don't have to hold me so tight, Sarge, I'll get you back to camp safely!" — while a sneaky-looking green character in a matching helmet crouches nearby, and red stars scatter across the bear's belly beneath a tropical palm tree. At just ten cents, this is a delightful snapshot of wartime funny-animal comics doing what they did best: finding laughs even in the jungle.
