Buzzy #20

DC's teen comedy series delivers a delightfully chaotic street scene on this 1948 cover, with Buzzy clinging high up a lamp post — complete with a large street clock — while a stylish young woman impatiently taps her foot below and a bewildered policeman looks on in disbelief. C. C. Beck's clean, energetic linework gives the whole moment a breezy charm that perfectly suits "America's Favorite Teen-Ager." At ten cents, this was lighthearted fun for anyone who ever knew a kid who made running late into an art form.
