| Nice alternative to superhero comics. I don't know why someone here rates these Animal Comics so lower -- they deserve higher ratings.
I especially enjoy the Rover stories, as well as Walt Kelly Pogo and Albert, and the Mo Gollub stories. |

| On this particular issue, some of it could be a legacy of an earlier version of the scan. The cover of my copy was damaged in the upper left corner, and the original posted scan showed that. Somebody replaced it with a better scan, I think JonTheScanner.
I'm glad you're enjoying the books, my part in getting the complete run of ANIMAL COMICS scanned and posted is one of proudest achievements in scanning! |

| Comic Story | Whaling (7 pages) |
| Notes | The piece on Whaling was illustrated by Morris Gollub. The style is clearly his style including: Great attention to detail for a completed look on each panel. Precise representation of animals and figures especially the muscle patterns. Moe was a wrestler and armature body builder which gave him a strong background in human anatomy. The movement of all the figures throughout the piece is smooth exhibiting Gollub's skill in animation. The fact that one story is credited to him in this issue demonstrates that he was involved in the production of the issue. |
