Buzzy #71

This May–June 1956 installment of DC's "America's Favorite Teen-Ager!" delivers a charming four-panel cover sequence by Graham Place, following Buzzy and his red-haired companion Susie through a carnival midway. The gag unfolds delightfully — a game-booth barker offers to help Buzzy "win a pretty doll," Buzzy cheekily replies he's already got one (nodding to Susie), earns a "SMACK!" kiss for the compliment, then reveals with a grin that he won an actual doll at the same fair last time. At a dime a copy, issue #71 captures everything warm and witty about postwar teen humor comics in one perfectly timed punchline.
