Description
A professionally graded and encapsulated comic book, “Katzenjammer Kids #6” from David McKay Publishing, dated Fall 1948. The comic is certified by CGC Universal Grade at 7.5 with “OFF-WHITE TO WHITE Pages.” The cover features a classic mid-20th century cartoon illustration depicting two boys, identified as “Hans and Fritz Co.” on a sign, washing dogs for 10¢, while another boy holds several puppies. Prominent text includes “THE KATZENJAMMER KIDS,” “AUTUMN,” “10¢,” and “NO. 6.” Additional markings indicate “THIS IS A KING FEATURES COMIC” and “SPECIAL FEATURES / All the KATZ KIDS are / NEW and ORIGINAL / A Good Night Story.” The German word “Katzenjammer” in the title translates to “cat’s wail,” often used to describe a hangover or commotion, providing context for the comic’s mischievous characters.
