Candy #26

Quality Comics' teen humor series delivers a perfectly timed bit of slapstick on this February 1952 cover, where a snarling brown dog has poor Ted scrambling backward in wide-eyed panic, arms flailing, while Candy clings safely to a post and urges him to "try talking to him" — a suggestion Ted pointedly notes he's "liable to talk my leg off." The expressive cartooning captures that classic teen-comedy chaos, with the leaping, teeth-bared dog every bit as animated as the two teenagers caught in the commotion. At a dime a copy, Candy — America's Favorite Teen-Age Girl was reliably charming fun, and issue #26 wears that spirit right on its cover.
