This is the work of Dan Gordon. I am far from alone in loving Gordon's work, as his reputation has grown to that of legend in recent years. His beautiful, perfect use of shadow give his characters such life and elastic bounce. Gordon's work often feels like a prototype for good cartooning.
Gordon also did the cover. Much more will be said about Gordon's many gifts in future posts. For now, this is from Giggle Comics No. 46, October, 1947. All scans are from my own comic. Just click the image for the big picture.
