Seeing covers like this comic cheer me up no matter what foul mood I'm in. And of course Walt Kelly is responsible for this particular one.
In fact, it was Kelly and Carl Barks and a few other geniuses that were responsible for keeping the Golden Age of Comics alive for another few years into the '50s, bless their hearts and souls.

This cover reminds me of the PEANUTS strips in which Snoopy and Woodstock do hockey battle on the frozen surface of a birdbath. So, does Dewey expect to mimic S&W here?? (Canonically, at least in the present day, Dewey's the one in blue.)
My name is Thom Buchanan.
I'm an artist and photographer.
People are my favorite subjects to portray in art and photos. My wife (and studio partner) has called that my 'people skills', as I've been passionately creating portrait studies for many years.
I refer to myself as a pictorialist, a combination of image-making and journalist. Images are my life.
Tom,
