A Date with Judy #30

This sunny 1952 beach scene sets up a perfectly comic situation: Judy, in a green swimsuit, kneels on the sand looking exasperated while her friend in red sits nearby, quipping that when she asked Oogie to act more mature, she didn't expect him to go quite so fatherly — and sure enough, Oogie is in the background cheerfully helping a couple of little kids build a sandcastle. DC's beloved "Television and Radio's Coast to Coast Favorite" delivers that signature breezy humor, with Win Mortimer's clean, expressive linework making every reaction pop. "Ringing the Bell" promises the kind of lighthearted teen comedy that made A Date with Judy a genuine staple of early-'50s comics.
