For Laughing Out Loud #7

Dell's humor anthology For Laughing Out Loud promises "Cartoons, Jokes, Gags, and Funny Stories" — and John Gallagher's cover delivers on that premise right away, with a glamorous, red-clad cowgirl strutting boldly forward while two hapless, bug-eyed cowboys blaze away with their revolvers behind her, seemingly oblivious to her total indifference. Gallagher's loose, rubbery linework gives the whole scene a wonderfully goofy energy that sets the tone perfectly for the comedy inside. A cheerful 1958 Dell package for anyone who likes their Wild West with a generous helping of slapstick.
