The Fox and the Crow #64

DC's The Fox and the Crow #64 from November 1960 delivers the kind of slapstick charm this series does so well — the cover shows the Crow getting blasted by a powerful jet of water shooting straight from a saxophone's bell, his top hat askew and feathers flustered, while the Fox looks on in a marching-band uniform, sheet music in hand and a thoroughly satisfied grin on his face. It's a wonderfully absurd gag rendered in bright, eye-catching color that perfectly captures the duo's eternal game of one-upmanship. At just a dime, this issue is a delightful snapshot of early 1960s funny-animal comics at their most gleefully anarchic.
