This looks like the promotional variant of Animal Crackers #9 (Norlen, 1959) which featured the cover from an earlier Animal Crackers #9 (Green, 1957) married to a fractional interior from Giant Comics #3 (Charlton, 1957).

Interesting! Thank you for sharing.

Tough little obscure Animal Funny Book. 4 on the Census...

Not sure if it was a Fox Published book; but sorta feels like it...

It's kind of weird to think that each of us are really happy with the Berk books that we have...but he had ALL of them.

Mr Bedrock; you are the next "Berk"

But that is so true. He had such an amazing accumulation of funny book love.

Is this Tomorrow (1947) CGC 9.4 OW/White Pages

(TOP CENSUS - None Higher)
(Yellow circle no price variant)

Asking: $3,300

This copy has improvable defects.
Absolutely Gorgeous copy of a seminal "Red Scare" book.
Flag Burning Cover, Communists taking over America, lady being choked.
Gerber rates this a "7" ("scarce") on its Scarcity Index.
Contains content around Race Wars, Presidential Assassination Concentration Camps in the U.S.A., and more insane stuff. It's nuts.
Check out the Interior Spoiler below for some of the pages and panels.

Interior

Spoiler

And so begins our cautionary tale. “The story is sad… the end tragic.”

Communist Jones lays out his diabolical plan: take advantage of the drought that is besieging the country. Use the crisis as a means to seize power.

First, Communist Jones’ head of propaganda, Brown, gets to work. He starts by making Americans hate each other’s guts. He sends moles into various clubs and workplaces to infiltrate and start division and dissension.

Brown can rely on Hollywood to corrode American morals. The respect for life will have to also be squashed.

And, of course, Brown knows he has the media in his back pocket.

Naturally, the workers need to grow to resent the rich capitalists.

And a race war is essential to any Commie takeover.

And so, there is murder in the streets. White vs. Black, Labor vs. Capitalists,.. the American populace is divided and at each other’s throats.

At last, the time was right for Communist Jones to make his move. He has found an ally in Washington DC – the Speaker of the House, Collins.

First, he needs to get the president and vice-president out the way.

As “luck” would have it, it has been arranged for the president and vice-president to appear together in a parade.

It would be a shame if anyone threw a grenade at them…

Of course, this makes Collins the new president. Communist Jones props him up to be the hero we deserve, beating the drought.

Collins is weak, and easily hands over much of his power to Communist Jones.

Communist Jones gathers the top generals together and has them wasted. Now there is no one to stand in the way of his plans.

Communist Jones nationalizes everything, and ensures the schools are under his thumb.

Book burning time.

And, finally, it’s time to take our guns and kill the Catholics.

Anyone who doesn’t fall in line is sent to Alaska…

Finally, Communist Jones is delivering his victory toast when this happens…

Fighting Yank #20 (1947) CGC 8.0 C/OW Pages
Asking: $1,600

This funny book looks to be improvable as it has an accumulation of non-color breaking defects. I think it could go as high as VF/NM 9.0
Awesome Airbrushed Alex Schomburg cover with ole Yank dropping in on an unsuspecting shark just trying to do what he does best.
