Gay Comics #38

A cheerful slice of mid-century Marvel humor, this June 1949 issue of Gay Comics features Millie, Tessie, and Nellie in their signature lighthearted misadventures. The cover delivers an instantly charming gag: a blonde young woman seated on a picnic blanket beside an open lunch box quips, "Golly, Clicker, you must be hungry as a bear!" — directed at an actual bear that has apparently helped itself to her sandwiches, while a terrified figure flees in the background. It's the kind of warm, silly comedy that made this series a reliable delight, and "Never the Train Shall Meet" promises more of the same inside.
