For Laughing Out Loud #27

Dell's long-running humor digest serves up another helping of chuckles with this June 1963 issue, featuring cover art by D. Fradon depicting a bowler-hatted, barrel-toting man and a blonde woman in full sprint, both wielding butterfly nets in hot pursuit of a single elusive butterfly. The cheerful, loose linework captures that breezy mid-century cartoon style perfectly, and the cover promises "scores of funny cartoons" alongside themed pieces like "A Wife Is a House Mouse," "Archys Boss" by Don Marquis, and "The Credit Card Bandit." At 35 cents, this was a fine way to spend a summer afternoon in 1963.
