The tricksters
DC's funny animal comics used a lot of trickster stories. It's probably because they were common in animated cartoons and they came from a common source, folk tales.

The other story, Dizzy Dog, is by Sheldon "Shelly" Mayer, DC's all-around cartoonist, a creative person who had been at one time or another an editor, writer, and artist at DC, from the time he was a teenager until he succumbed to old age.
The two stories are from The Dodo and the Frog #80, 1954, and my thanks go out to David Miller for providing the scans.

I wish that DC would package these old anthropomorphic series like they did with the recent Kirby omnibus volumes.
