Four Color #793

Dick Cavalli's hapless everyman Morty Meekle takes center stage on this 1957 Dell one-shot, straining over a lawn roller in his shirt, tie, and colorful striped shorts — looking every bit like a man who may have overestimated his fitness ambitions. The cover's cheerful slapstick sets the tone perfectly for the "all brand-new stories" promised inside, with Morty's exasperated expression doing all the comedic heavy lifting. A warm slice of late-1950s humor comics at a dime a copy.
