Hello Buddies #1
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free"Special Delivery and Air Mail" kicks off with a delightfully absurd twist on postal protocol, as a mail carrier stumbles upon an envelope marked for both "special delivery" and "air mail"—two distinct routes that can’t be satisfied at once. Written and illustrated by Courtney Dunkel, the story unfolds with a deadpan charm and a perfectly timed punchline, all rendered in crisp, period-accurate style. The cover by Al Ross captures the moment with playful precision, a 15-cent comic from 1945 that’s as clever as it is quirky.
In this delightfully absurd 1945 gem from *Hello Buddies* #1, a mail carrier stumbles upon an envelope marked "special delivery" and "air mail"—two designations that demand conflicting treatments. With a practical twist of logic, she splits the envelope in half and sends each part through its respective slot, leaving the outcome delightfully uncertain.
