For Laughing Out Loud #2

Dell's humor anthology returns with issue #2, and John Gallagher's cover sets the tone perfectly — a breezy beach scene where a lanky scuba diver clutching a trident lurks underwater while a woman in a red bikini rides a spotted inflatable seahorse above him, blissfully unaware, as a little pink fish looks on. Promising "Jokes, Gags, Cartoons, and Funny Stories," this 1957 Dell offering has the loose, rubbery charm that Gallagher brings to every line. If you're in the mood for lighthearted comic entertainment, this one delivers exactly what it says on the cover.
