Buddies #4

This June 1942 Harvey humor anthology promises a whopping 84 pages of "Gals and Gags" — plus 20 extra pages — making it a generous wartime entertainment package for Army and Navy readers. The cover sets the lighthearted tone perfectly: a glamorous redhead perches coolly on a blue sofa while a dazed aviator slumps beside her, stars literally spinning around his head in a ring, captioned "Forced Landing." At 15 cents, it's a cheerful, good-natured slice of home-front comedy with a distinctly military flavor.
