Hello Buddies #35

Henry Boltinoff's cover for Hello Buddies #35 sets the playful tone perfectly: a couple on a moonlit drive in a bright yellow convertible gets an uninvited audience from a grinning kid who's draped himself over the back seat — captioned with the cheerful disclaimer, "Oh, don't mind him, he's trying to learn the business…" Perched in the upper corner, a cheerful pin-up figure waves hello, rounding out the breezy, good-natured charm that made this 1947 Harvey humor digest such fun. Inside, Courtney Dunkel brings the cartoons, jokes, and gags — including the story "Man Buys an Engagement Ring" — making this a lively little package of postwar laughs for just fifteen cents.
