These Hoppy stories are from Fawcett’s Funny Animals No. 24, November 1944. The Marvel Bunny was the lead story and franchise player for much of the title’s run. Like Captain Marvel, Hoppy gained his supper powers by speaking the magic word “Shazam!” And like so many superheroes, he had a girlfriend that preferred the superhero to the secret identity.
Hoppy the Marvel Bunny was the creation of cartoonist, Chad Grothkopf. His style is classic Bigfoot and his character design, even for minor walk-ons, is intelligent and thoughtful (I love the candy store clerk and burly sportsman customer of the first story; and the feline witch of the second).

These next two advertisements are from the same issue. With such gorgeous design and layout, the ads become as eye-pleasing as the comic's stories. The 1940s were such a great time for design - of men’s clothes, architecture, cars, what have you. This beautiful standard was obvious in something as simple as an ad for a hobby knife or Tootsie Drink Mix.
