Cindy Comics #29

This June 1948 issue of Cindy Comics captures a perfectly chaotic teen-comedy moment: blonde Cindy is sprawled dramatically across the staircase, mid-dance with music notes floating around her, completely oblivious to the two suit-clad suitors who've just walked through the front door — one clutching a bouquet of flowers. Their dueling speech bubbles say it all: "Is Cindy in?" / "Is she in? I'll say she is!!!" With a scattered Oakdale High School pennant, a telephone, a plate of cake, and a portable radio adding to the delightful disorder, this cover radiates the breezy, warm humor that made postwar teen comics such a joy.
