Notes: Pantomime. This gag page is presented in an unusually minimalist style for Dell Comics of the period. There is no logo, no title, and no background scenery or props beyond the free-floating door and its attached string. The background of every panel is colored light blue in its entirety, presaging the “modern design” look Western would later institute in its Gold Key Comics of 1962-1963. The rightmost third of the bottom (4th) tier is occupied by the “Dell Comics Pledge to Parents”. Color on back cover.
