Freddy #37

This December 1962 Charlton humor comic drops Freddy right in the middle of a wonderfully absurd predicament — seated in his beat-up, sticker-covered red hot rod amid a heap of junk at a "Dumping Allowed" site, he throws his hands up and pleads to a skeptical police officer, "I'm not stealing junk… this is MY car!" A grinning couple peeks down from above the title, perfectly framing the comedic chaos below. Jon D'Agostino's cover art captures the lighthearted teen humor that made Freddy the Hotrodder such a breezy read for early '60s comics fans.
