It is now no mistery that one of my favorite cartoon character is Famous' Wolfie, expecially for the marvellous Berth Lahr's "Cowardly Lion"-like characterization provided by Sid Raymond.
Here we have "our hero" in a comic story drawn by none other than Walt Kelly.
David "God's gift to animation and comics fans" Gerstein provided these beautiful scans and here I am, sharing them with you.
Note how Wolfie resembles Goofy, expecially Barks' version of it.








Best,
Andrea
