| This is how you do funny animal books. Jack Bradbury was an Animator for Walt Disney and knew how to tell a story and how to balance real people and 'cartoon' characters [Talking horse] and make the whole thing work.
This site is a little Gem as it includes a lot of the comics Bradbury worked on.
