Cindy Comics #28

A snowy ski slope sets the stage for some cheerful chaos in this 1947 humor comic, as a red-haired Cindy squeezes onto bobsled number 7 alongside two eager young men — prompting a dry "Are you kidding?" from their stylish blonde instructor, who watches the scene hands-on-hips in her plaid skirt and red boots. The back-and-forth between the crowded sled crew and the unimpressed instructor captures the breezy, lighthearted tone that made Cindy Comics such a fun teen read of the era. Toss in the interior story "Oh! Those Clothes!" and this issue promises plenty of laughs both on and off the slopes.
