Four Color #1335

A charming slice of early-'60s humor from Dell, this Aggie Mack issue finds our blonde heroine wading in a creek with fishing rod in hand, clearly more focused on the catch than on her red-headed companion — identified as Pinky — who has just disturbed a wasp's nest hanging from a nearby tree, sending a swarm of startled insects flying straight at him. Aggie's exasperated "Cut it out, Pinky, you'll scare the fish!" says everything you need to know about their dynamic. Light, breezy, and genuinely funny, it's a fine example of the wholesome teen-comedy comics Dell was turning out in 1962.
