Cindy Comics #30

This charming 1948 entry in Marvel's teen-humor series captures Cindy in a delightfully breezy moment — seated confidently in a green dress, she bubbles to her wide-eyed blonde friend about her date with Sandy McTavish, who can be spotted through the window clutching a bag of seeds rather than the grand bouquet she's imagining. Ken Bald's clean, expressive linework gives both girls real personality, and the gap between Cindy's romantic expectations and Sandy's decidedly unglamorous errand makes for an instantly winning comedic setup. A fun snapshot of postwar teen comics at their lighthearted best.
