    Cover by Walt Kelly and Dan Noonan. Stories and art by Walt Kelly, John Stanley, Hubbell R. McBride, Morris Gollub, Dan Noonan and Gaylord Du Bois (credited as Howard R. Garis). Dell's classic funny-animal series included early work by former Disney animator Walt Kelly, creator of beloved comic strip Pogo. In an early (and meta) Pogo story by Kelly, Pogo reads a letter from Wallet Kelly asking readers to write in to the comic book. In another adorable Kelly story, Nubble the kitten meets Nibble the derby-wearing mouse, and they accidentally antagonize Fuss Feathers the parrot. Jigger and Mooch go to the country, in a story by John Stanley of Little Lulu fame.
