Buzzy #77

The beach is the perfect setting for this breezy 1958 slice of teen comedy, as Buzzy sits on the sand next to a red-haired girl clutching an algebra book, while two more girls in swimsuits stroll by — prompting his cheerful quip that studying algebra is "one way to keep your mind on the right figures." Owen Fitzgerald's crisp linework captures the sunny, good-natured humor that made this National Humor Group series such a reliable treat. At just a dime, issue #77 delivers exactly the kind of lighthearted fun that defined the genre.
