Just to take a break from the Looney Tunes posts, here’s another gem from the Hubie Karp-Jim Davis days of the Fox and the Crow from Real Screen Comics #33 (1950). It’s a fairly unique take on the duo’s chemistry, with Crawford putting almost zero effort into his scam; Fauntleroy’s anxiety does all the work. Since we’re in an age when it seems almost every Golden Age comic is being reprinted, how about a book of these guys?
I don’t know what it is, but rediscovering an old ‘Fox & Crow’ in my own collection has set me off…can’t get enough of Davis’ stuff – especially Fox & Crow. I wish there was a reprint collection. These comics ran for what, 20 years?
Yep, they ran for at least 23 years. Amazing how something hasn’t come up in recent years.
