Fun Parade #38

A full 100 pages of jokes and cartoons from America's leading cartoonists, Fun Parade #38 delivers exactly what its banner promises — fresh, sassy humor at a quarter a pop. Don Flowers' cover sets the comedic tone perfectly: a sharp-dressed cowgirl in green and black snaps a lasso with confident flair while her glamorous blonde cousin sits cross-legged in a blue dress, looking utterly unimpressed and quipping, "Never mind getting me a date, cousin!" — a gag that lands the moment you pick it up. Harvey's 1948 anthology format means there's plenty more wit waiting inside, with Bob Powell among the creative talent contributing to the fun.
