Buzzy #9

Promising "the rib-tickling misadventures of America's favorite teenster," this 1946 DC humor comic delivers exactly that on its cover, where Buzzy himself is being launched skyward by a snorting, horn-flashing bull while a rotund cowboy scrambles out of the animal's path. A blonde young woman watching from the fence looks more amused than alarmed, cheerfully calling out "Don't worry, Popsy! Buzzy's got him!" — which, given Buzzy's airborne situation, is wonderfully optimistic. George Storm's lively linework captures the chaotic comedy with real energy, making this ten-cent slice of teen-humor comics a genuinely fun artifact of postwar funny-book charm.
