Fun Parade #43

This "Special Bathing Beauty Issue" of Fun Parade captures the breezy, sun-soaked humor Harvey was known for in 1949, packed with jokes and cartoons by America's leading cartoonists. The cover delivers exactly what it promises — a lively beach scene crowded with swimsuit-clad figures lounging on the sand, gathered beneath striped umbrellas, with a caption that cheekily quips, "The swim suits certainly make up for the lowered hemline, don't they?" At a quarter cover price, this special issue offers a generous helping of lighthearted gag humor perfectly suited to a summer afternoon.
