For Laughing Out Loud #23

Michael Berry's sun-drenched cover sets the playful tone perfectly — a bikini-clad redhead lounges on the beach while a lovestruck young man in a bold floral shirt leans in for a kiss, his shadow hilariously doing the work his nerve hasn't quite mustered yet. This 1962 Dell digest packs in over 75 cartoons, stories by Robert Fortaine, John Bailey, and others, plus hundreds of jokes and features — including the "Forever Funny" Kin Hubbard Abe Martin strip. Great poolside (or beachside) reading for anyone who likes their humor light, breezy, and plentiful.
