☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Lovestruck," a 1946 Four Color comic, Walter Berndt crafts a quiet, charming moment set against the backdrop of wartime America: Mr. Bailey tends to a Victory Garden atop his office building, while young Herby wrestles with nerves as he approaches a war stamp booth, hoping to earn a kiss from a girl he admires. A tender, observant slice of everyday life, drawn with gentle detail by Berndt, whose work as writer, artist, and inker brings the small triumphs of the era to life.
In this 1946 Four Color tale, Smitty and Mr. Bailey head to their North Woods fishing resort, where they take in Little Moose the Indian with the earnest (if misguided) goal of teaching him "civilized" manners. The story unfolds with the kind of wholesome, gentle humor that defines the era, capturing the odd-couple charm of their mismatched efforts.
In a quiet corner of 1946 New York, Mr. Bailey tends to his rooftop Victory Garden while Herby wrestles with his nerves at a war bond booth, eyeing a girl he admires. With humor and heart, the story captures small moments of courage and community during wartime, all unfolding under the city’s watchful sky.
