A Date with Judy #36

DC's beloved teen comedy series heads to the beach for this sun-and-surf snapshot of summertime chaos. The cover finds Judy in her red swimsuit backing away in a panic as a massive wave crashes behind her, while a red-haired boy in yellow trunks clutches his camera and urges her to smile — her stammered reply, "I C-Can't! It's My Dad's Camera!", says everything about the predicament. It's a perfectly breezy 1953 moment that captures exactly the lighthearted charm that made A Date with Judy a television and radio favorite coast to coast.
