Hedy De Vine Comics #30

Hedy De Vine strides confidently along a boardwalk in her red jacket, dark slacks, and oversized sunglasses, convinced her disguise will keep admirers at bay — while behind her, a crowd of smitten beachgoers (including a lifeguard and several fumbling young men, one of whom has just taken a tumble with a resounding "CONK!") immediately recognizes her anyway. The speech bubbles tell the whole comedic story in a glance: nobody is fooled, and the chaos she leaves in her wake is utterly delightful. This December 1948 issue of Hedy De Vine Comics is a breezy, charming slice of mid-century humor that showcases the series' signature blend of glamour and good-natured slapstick.
