Georgie Comics #11

This June 1947 issue of Georgie Comics — "America's Laff Wit!" — delivers exactly the slapstick energy its tagline promises, with a cover by Mike Sekowsky that's pure comedic gold. A glamorous dark-haired woman in a red polka-dot top perches coolly at a ping-pong table, paddle in hand, while a hapless fellow in a bold checkered suit goes flying through the air in spectacular, legs-over-head fashion. With a story titled "Ain't Love Lovely?" and this much chaos happening over a game of table tennis, it's clear that romance and disaster are Georgie's twin specialties.
