Top Cat #11

Top Cat is up to his usual scheming in this cheerful 1972 Charlton offering, with the purple-vested, yellow feline front and center in a snowy scene that's gone delightfully wrong — a furious police officer has been packed into a snowman, baton raised and badge gleaming, while T.C.'s gang of colorful alley cats watches nervously from behind a tree stump. Ray Dirgo's cover art captures the slapstick spirit of Hanna-Barbera's beloved con-artist cat perfectly, with snowballs scattered across the ground hinting at how the officer ended up in such an undignified predicament. Inside, Joe Gill delivers all-new stories with all-new art, making this a fun snapshot of early-'70s funny-animal comics at their most lighthearted.
