Funny Films comic book scan cover detail featuring cartoon dogs, horse, cat, owl and bunny rabbit

The opening story features Puss & Boots in a hilarious cat-vs-dog comedy that transcends the cliches of the genre because of the absolute unbridled mayhem and unapologetic violence-for-the-gag's-sake. You can practically hear all the great sound effects of hammers hitting heads! And most of all...LOOK at those DRAWINGS!

Rocky Rabbit in “Doctor’s Orders”

Loose and lively brushwork from animation story man Irv Spector. And what a strange rushed composition in that last panel! Sometimes, you really need someone to write, “The End” in the corner to keep you from thinking you missed something. But that’s it. That rushed weirdness is one of my favorite things about those old one-page filler comics.
Check out the official Irv Spector blog at http://irvspector.blogspot.com/ for more comic book art and animation storyboards and photos and stories about the life of this versatile and dynamic cartoonist!
