Gilbert Shelton / VG/FN 5.0When Funny Aminals was published in 1972, nobody would have guessed that it would lead to one of its creators winning a Pulitzer Prize. But indeed, this is what happened for Art Spiegelman, whose harrowing family memoir \"Maus\" debuts as a four-page story in this comic book. Funny Aminals also features Robert Crumb\'s two-part cat-and-bird animal tale, \"What a World!\" The story\'s three primary characters are portrayed on the front cover of the book, where the foundation of the plot is aptly summarized without a word; two hep cats lust after the savory meat of a giant bird and scheme to capture her for a feast. As with most of Crumb\'s work, violence and death are presented as a natural aspect of everyday life, and the second part of \"What a World!\" concludes with the not-so-clever kitties getting their just desserts.

This book will ship in a new cardboard envelope.I am not a professional grader but attempt to grade books based on standard Overstreet guidelines. My grading is fairly conservative, particularly at the high end of the spectrum, but your grading may be more conservative. I can only say that I try to be consistent and you will likely find that my grades are within one full grade of your own.
SHIPPING: I don\'t ship comics by Media Mail anymore. It\'s just too risky, as USPS has become more vigilant about checking and restricting Media Mail. The last thing you want is to receive a notice that your shipment is available at the Post Office but there is postage due for retail ground shipping costs because the package did not qualify for Media Mail. I would refund your costs, but of course, but it ends up being a big hassle for both you and me. FIRST CLASS MAIL: I can ship 1 or 2 standard comic books by first-class letter in a new cardboard envelope. I can ship up to 3 standard comic books (or 1 or 2 magazines) by first-class package in a lightweight box with padding. This is a great, economic, quick and safe way to ship comics. This is a great, economic, quick and safe way to ship comics. I also use boxes instead of envelopes for more expensive single books and magazines. Above 3 comic books or 2 magazines (sometimes even 1 magazine), things are too heavy for first-class mail.RETAIL GROUND, FEDEX and PRIORITY MAIL: For 4 or more comic books or 3 or more magazines, I offer options for USPS Parcel Select Ground, FedEx SmartPost, FedEx Ground, or Priority Mail. I use calculated shipping because it\'s the cheapest method for buyers. I offer the maximum of 4 options because different methods will be cheaper for different zones. With larger quantities, it\'s cheaper to go with flat-rate Priority Mail. I set a maximum of $11.99 on shipping (less than my discounted cost) for most listings. Larger sets of comic books will be shipped in sturdy boxes with padding and I will offer plenty of options. COMBINED SHIPPING: Under all circumstances, I will combine shipping for multiple wins. Combined shipping discounts are automatically applied for listings that are eligible for my promotional shipping rule. I will also combine shipping with large sets even though will not automatically calculate the combined shipping cost. Just contact me or wait until I get a chance to send you a new invoice with combined shipping discounts. INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING: As a standard practice, I ship to the United States only. International locations may contact me prior to close of offerding to arrange a special exception and shipping cost. If you do not contact me before close of offerding, no exception will be made. International shipping is a pain (including \'s Global Shipping program) and I try to avoid it at all costs.
