A Date with Judy #21

Based on radio's famous coast-to-coast favorite, this 1951 DC teen comedy delivers 52 big pages of suburban laughs. The cover sets the tone perfectly: a grinning teenage boy gleefully cranks what appears to be a "Kiss-O-Meter" as it erupts in a cloud of smoke and sparks, while a bespectacled adult man, a wide-eyed girl in yellow, and another alarmed young woman look on in varying degrees of shock and amusement. It's the kind of cheerful, wholesome chaos that made A Date with Judy a household name on the airwaves and on the newsstands alike.
