Treasure Chest of Fun and Fact #12 [398]

Feb 1966 · George A. Pflaum · 0.10 USD
“Presidential Philanthropies”

"Presidential Philanthropies" is a charming, offbeat tale from the 1966 Treasure Chest of Fun and Fact #12, written, drawn, and inked by Frank Baginski in his distinctive, expressive style. The story follows a well-meaning salesman who misreads a "beware of dog" sign—only to learn the hard way that the real danger isn’t the small, friendly pup in the yard, but the one who’s been quietly waiting. The playful, slightly mischievous tone is perfectly captured in Fran Matera’s lively cover art, which highlights the moment of surprise with a classic comic book punch.
