Breezy #24

Breezy #24 delivers exactly what its tagline promises — "A Lusty Eyeful of Robust Entertainment!" — across a cover packed with three separate gag cartoons. Bill Ward and Al Kaufman share penciling and inking duties on artwork that ranges from a glamorous stocking-clad woman being ogled by a grumpy window washer ("Lady, I hate having someone stare at me while I'm working!") to a receptionist desk scene where a lone "T. Jones" stands out among a list of Browns, to a bedroom sketch captioned "Do you photograph well, Mr. Turner?" This February 1958 Humorama Magazine offering captures the breezy, wink-and-nudge humor that made these pocket-sized publications a popular diversion of the era.
