Separated At Mirth: It REALLY IS "A Small World, After All!"


For today's "Mirth Separation" (...even if its not exactly all that "mirthful") we examine the cover of SHOWCASE #61 (DC Comics, Cover Date: March-April, 1966)...


...Which I've long regarded as one of the greatest DC covers of the Silver Age (TELL ME IT'S NOT!)...

...Along with this extraordinary moment from Tex Avery's immortal cartoon "King-Size Canary" (1947)!  


That little boat-ride at Disneyland had it right all along... "It's a Small World, Afff-terr Aaalll!"

Even without looking as soon as I heard "greatest Silver Age cover" I knew which one you meant! I think it's the best and really encapsulates that cool & crazy of the time.

While some of the Silver Age FLASH covers *did* give it some serious competition in the "cool & crazy" department, this one is still the winner!
