Hello Buddies #46

In "Worker Stops Work," a quietly surreal moment unfolds as two women, equal in height on land, diverge in their relationship to the water—where one seems to rise above the surface as the other sinks. Written and drawn entirely by Ali, this 1950 Harvey comic offers a playful, dreamlike observation with a touch of whimsical physics. The cover by Henry Boltinoff captures the scene’s peculiar charm, a 25-cent glimpse into a world where the ordinary bends just slightly.
