A couple of borderline entries.

 

Raggedy Ann and Andy Dell Giant

OK, rag dolls aren't really animals, but most of their adventures involve funny and stuffed animals, as you can see from the cover.

An absolute must for funny animal fans, and a "best buy" in reader condition.

Is an anthropomorphic pickle an honorary funny animal?

Pickle! or the do-swan 1 by a local boy!

HOLY FUDD!

 

"I can't find my magic paint!"?

Has Pidgy been filching from Dicky in the Magic Forest?

 

If it's not crazy enough, a Mister Limpet-like fish with wire-rimmed glasses floating in the middle of the scene for no apparent reason.

 

I'm not sure it's safe to read the whole book at one sitting.

Thanks.

As far as I know, Jim Davis did all of the Fox and Crow covers -- maybe all the interior art too.

 

Seadevils over on the calendar thread says that this is a tough one to find. I got lucky.

Marvelous cover, Selegue! I assume it's Jim Davis art, always good, but the green background is :cloud9:

Toy Town 1 with a hyperkinetic L. B. Cole cover

and the splash page of the bizarre, full-length (anti-)morality tale inside. The interior looks to me like Cole at the beginning and Many Hands taking over. Highly recommended.

Two of DC's clumsiest titles

 

TV SCREEN CARTOONS 136 featuring Fox and Crow.
