Four Color #115

Marge's Little Lulu brings her signature mischievous charm to this 1946 Dell issue, where the cover shows Lulu in her red dress carefully — or perhaps not so carefully — watering a flower pot on a windowsill with a metal watering can, while a decorated yellow hat nearby appears to be catching the overflow. Framed by a cheerful blue border filled with silhouettes of Lulu in various poses, the cover art by John Stanley captures the gentle, good-natured humor that made this series so endearing. At just a dime, issue #115 is a delightful snapshot of postwar all-ages comics at their most warmhearted.
