| To my surprise the first story was actually funny--not a word I use often for Fox funny animal comics. |
|
| Yes! This is BY FAR the funniest Fox Features Funny Animal comic book I've ever seen or read. The stories were drawn by Cosmo's first and regular artist, Ellis Holly Chambers, and I'm sure, based on the release date and style of the comedy, they were written by that character's inventor, and most prolific writer, Pat Adams. |
