Freddy #33

Charlton's teen humor series delivers another lighthearted dose of suburban comedy in this April 1962 issue, with cover art by Jon D'Agostino that sets the tone perfectly. The cover shows Freddy — letter "F" on his jacket — caught in a comedic tug-of-war outside a U.S. Army Recruiting Center, simultaneously being pulled by a blonde girl in red and hauled in by a soldier in uniform, while an Uncle Sam "I Want You" poster looks on approvingly. With Joe Gill's story "The Army Knows Best" waiting inside, this issue promises the kind of breezy, good-natured fun that made Freddy a reliable ten-cent treat.
