King Aroo - Mr. Elephant and Yuptop Make Some Magic - July 20th 1952

This is one of my favorite King Aroo strips so far...Yuptop gets dressed up and takes center stage, we got magic, and we get to have some fun with Mr. Elephant, too. Every panel has got that little special something that makes this strip a worthy companion to the gentle lyrical humor of Pogo and Krazy Kat.

It's also fun to watch Yuptop got though all his emotions without even having a mouth!
