A Date with Judy #78

This September 1960 DC charmer finds Judy — bold and grinning in a striking black-and-yellow checkered swimsuit — clinging to a wide-eyed, red-haired Oogie on what looks like a beach towel, with the shoreline glimmering behind them. Oogie protests "But Judy, we haven't been IN it yet!" while Judy cheerfully complains about the cold water sending shivers up her spine — a perfectly breezy setup for the teen comedy hijinks inside. At just a dime, this issue captures exactly the light, laugh-ready spirit that made A Date with Judy such a warm staple of early 1960s comics.
