Two charming sketches, pasted back to back, by one of the true masters of funny animal cartooning.
Anyone interested in learning to draw "cute"---and I mean that in a good way--search down Chad's work in golden-age comics like FUNNY ANIMALS, and HOPPY THE MARVEL BUNNY (which blew Chris George's mind when I first showed it to him!)

'salways good to see some Chad. And a Chad Hoppy, to boot!
Thanks for the link!
I only have one issue of "Funny Animals" and it seems to concentrate on "Atomic Mouse".
Is he a Grothkopf creation as well?
...Kirby Museum link, that is...
Hmm... Atomic Mouse - Al Fago?
Randy--
yup, yup, and many thanks for your hard work presiding over the Kirby Museum.
And JE, Randy's right, Atomic Mouse was an Al Fago creation while he worked at Charlton. I recall that sometime in the 1950's, the title FUNNY ANIMALS, which was originally published by Fawcett in the 40's, was purchased by Charlton. Check the date on your copy, I would think it'd be from the 50's or later.
Thank you both for the comments!
