Buzzy #23

Buzzy #23 brings a delightful slice of late-1940s teen comedy straight from DC, billed as "America's Favorite Teen-Ager!" The cover captures a perfectly timed domestic disaster: Buzzy stands on a chair wrestling with a cuckoo clock while a worried girl looks on and a heavyset man in red-striped pajamas watches from the doorway — with Buzzy cheerfully explaining that without the cuckoo, Pops won't know how late it's getting. At ten cents for a full 52-page magazine, this 1949 issue delivers the warm, wisecracking humor that made Buzzy a genuinely charming corner of DC's lineup.
