Buddies #5

This July 1942 Harvey humor digest packs 84 pages of wartime comedy into one cheerful package. The cover sets the playful tone perfectly: two lively young women in matching yellow skirts — a blonde and a brunette — react with delight as a grinning Army officer raises an appreciative finger, while the caption teases, "Gosh! He whistled! I wonder which of us he meant?" Set against a bold red-white-and-blue bullseye, it's a breezy snapshot of home-front lightheartedness at fifteen cents a copy.
