Cover Cavalcade
Why don't Ice Cream Cone Holsters exist in real life? From 1959; art by Phil de Lara.
I have the Gold Key reprint of this cover. Too bad there isn't a story to go with it--I can envision the laughs that would abound from a Western gunfight with ice cream as ammunition. Imagine Sheriff Daffy versus bandit Yosemite Sam...or for more laughs, reverse the situation and have Sam or possibly Elmer (or maybe even P-P-Porky) as the sheriff and Daffy as the outlaw.
