Gay Comics #21

This Fall 1945 issue of Gay Comics delivers a perfectly timed carnival gag right on its cover: a cheerful sailor and his stylish blonde companion ride a merry-go-round together, and she's holding up a gleaming gold ring — while a can of quick-drying gold paint sits suspiciously nearby. The bewildered carnival operator at his booth seems to have finally figured out why she keeps winning free rides, making the whole scene a delightfully warm slice of postwar humor. At a dime a copy, this was lighthearted fun tailor-made for 1945 readers looking for a good laugh.
