#22 - La cosa nei Fumetti

                                     Teapot in comics


Teapots have also illustrated the covers of a wide number of comics and  continue nowadays to be an extremely common and funny topic for cartoons and comics. In the two covers the kettle and the teapot are respectively the protagonists of ''Kettle'' and ''Micky Maus'' .























In Bobthedalek, the teapot is the main idea of the discussion as the  pony asks about teapots.









In Ferretes and lemmings, the protagonist is pouring imaginary tea everywhere and the teapot got angry at such situation.






In Asra comics, the boy tried  to play some magic with the teapot  and this turned into a disaster  before the intervention of his father.





In Pickles, even if the teapot is not physically present, the grandson said that his song was''I'm little teapot'', the well-known children's rhyme








In The white Ninja, there is a kind of analogy between the ordinary teapot and the magic lamp of Aladdin.
