Four Color #1072

Marge's Blythe arrives in this charming 1960 Dell one-shot, where the cover captures a perfectly awkward social moment: a redheaded girl in a blue dress proudly presents a bouquet made from her prize dahlia — cattails and all — while a tuxedoed fellow and a surprised young woman in a floral skirt look on with wide-eyed reactions. The speech bubble says it all: "I made it myself from my prize dahlia!" — setting a wonderfully deadpan comic tone. At just a dime, this issue pairs that delightful cover gag with the interior story "Misplaced Skates" for a light, fun slice of early-'60s humor comics.
