The Fox and the Crow #41

A sunny 1957 summer gag plays out beautifully on this DC funny-animal cover, where the Crow stands on the ground holding a kite string and wondering aloud where Foxie went — because Foxie has, of course, been swept high into the sky, clinging helplessly to the yellow kite above him. James F. Davis brings a breezy, loose energy to the scene, with fluffy clouds, a green park, and just the right amount of cartoon panic on Foxie's face to sell the joke before you've even opened the cover. If lighthearted swindler-versus-sucker humor delivered with crisp cartooning is your thing, Fox and the Crow #41 is a genuinely charming slice of mid-century DC comedy.
