Candy #31

This October 1952 Quality Comics gem captures "America's Favorite Teen-Age Girl" at her wisecracking best — Candy sits across from a bug-eyed Ted at a soda fountain table littered with empty sundae cups (and several more crashed to the floor), delivering the perfectly timed quip: "I'll say one thing for you, Ted, you're REFRESHING!" The gag-a-page humor of postwar teen comics is right at home here, with a stunned Ted clutching a sky-high check while a curious soda jerk looks on from the background. Charming, light-hearted, and full of that breezy wit that made Candy a standout in 1950s funny-teen comics.
