A Date with Judy #32

Based on DC's beloved teen humor series — billed right on the cover as "Television and Radio's Coast to Coast Favorite" — this December–January 1952 issue sets up a delightfully comedic scene: two young women crouched down changing a flat tire on a military-style jeep while two young men lounge lazily aboard it, one of them delivering the pointed quip, "You're the ones who were always yelling for equal rights for women!" The irony is broad and the timing is sharp, capturing the light, sitcom-ready humor that made A Date with Judy a cross-media hit. At a dime a copy, issue #32 offers a charming snapshot of postwar teen comedy with a story titled "Persistence" — which, given that cover, feels just about right.
