A Date with Judy #75

This sunny beach scene from DC's long-running teen comedy series captures a delightfully awkward moment: a red-haired boy sits stranded on the sand while a blonde girl in a black swimsuit strolls away with a cheery "Bye!" — apparently making off with his towel. In the foreground, a dark-haired Judy grins knowingly at the reader, her polka-dot headscarf adding a breezy 1960 charm, while the cover teases that when Oogie's pal Nervous meets a girl named Serena, things are "anything but serene for Judy." Bob Oksner's clean, expressive linework gives the whole scene an effortless warmth that made this series such a treat, and the bonus promise of "Judy's Fashion Tips" inside makes this a well-rounded package of lighthearted fun.
