Hello Buddies #58

This mid-century humor digest delivers exactly what its cover promises: "Sassy Gags and Gals!" The bright red cover sets the scene at what appears to be a quiz show, where a grinning emcee in a plaid jacket tells a wide-eyed sailor at a microphone that he'll earn a dollar for every question he answers — while a shapely blonde attendant draped head-to-toe in dollar bills stands nearby to dramatic effect. Harvey's Hello Buddies #58 from 1952 captures the breezy, wisecracking spirit of postwar humor comics in one perfectly absurd image.
