Georgie Comics #8

This November 1946 issue of Georgie Comics announces itself with a gloriously chaotic soda-fountain mishap — a frantic soda jerk in a white uniform takes a full "SPLAT!" of ice cream right to the face, while a stylish young woman in a red pinstripe outfit recoils in wide-eyed alarm. Menu signs for "Strawberry Sundae 35¢" and "Gooey Gobs 20¢" fly through the air, adding to the delightful disorder captured by cover artist Frank Carin. At a dime a copy, this teen-humor gem from 1946 delivers that warm, breezy energy that made the Georgie series such a fun read.
