Buzzy #2

This spring 1945 DC ten-center promises "another jive-jammed jamboree with America's favorite teenster," and George Storm's cover delivers the chaos in full. Buzzy himself is practically launched off his feet as Popsy blasts an ear-splitting "BLAT!" from a gleaming golden saxophone — a "How to Play Hot Sax in 10 Easy Lessons" booklet nearby suggesting the results are still a work in progress — while a blonde girl throws her hands up in dismay and even the family dog howls in protest. It's a wonderfully silly domestic scene that captures the breezy, good-natured humor that made teen comedy comics such a lively corner of the 1940s comics landscape.
