Breezy #13

This April 1956 Humorama digest delivers exactly what its tagline promises — "Lively Cartoon Gems and Gal-O-Rama!" — with a laughing blonde woman in a plaid shirt center stage, flanked by two of Dan DeCarlo's signature cartoon panels featuring wisecracking characters in playful situations. DeCarlo's clean, expressive linework brings the gag cartoons to life, and the cover quote from Ginny Taylor sets the lighthearted, comedic tone that made these 25-cent digest magazines a beloved part of mid-fifties humor culture.
