Terry-Toons Comics #22

Terry-Toons Comics #22 from July 1944 delivers a perfectly timed gag straight from the funny-animal playbook: a medal-wearing wolf villain in military uniform looks on in bewilderment as a large cannon fires nothing but soap bubbles — courtesy of a small monkey character who's been busy with a box of "Quickie Soap Suds" and a bucket nearby. A pair of baffled enemy officers lurk in the background, speechless at the "FIRE! / WELL? / POP!" exchange floating above the scene. It's a wonderfully silly wartime cover that turns battlefield tension into pure cartoon comedy, right at a dime a copy.
