Gwandanaland Comics #2301

This Gwandanaland Comics collection reprints the classic "gags and gals" humor of Hello Buddies, and the sunny, chaotic cover art of issue #61 sets the tone perfectly — a red-headed woman in a swimsuit rides the nose of a speeding motorboat, pointing in alarm at the caption "But, Mr. Howell — your wife!" while a figure wipes out on water skis in the background and a bikini-clad brunette poses above. It's breezy, breezy mid-century comedy at its most cheerful, capturing the lighthearted beach-party spirit that made this series such a fun read. A great way to revisit the golden age of humor comics in one convenient 2019 volume.
