The Fox and the Crow #71

DC's long-running funny-animal comedy series brings its signature slapstick to the gridiron in this January 1961 issue. The cover sets the tone perfectly: the Fox stands tall in his number-13 football jersey, looking smugly pleased, while the Crow has been flattened beak-first into the turf — helmet, bones, and all — after a very bad tackle. With two scheming cartoon characters and a football field full of comic misfortune, this is lighthearted 12-cent fun at its most cheerfully chaotic.
