Hello Buddies #65

A sunny day at the beach sets the stage for this 1954 Harvey humor digest, as a flirtatious blonde in a swimsuit lounges on a red beach blanket beside a flustered fellow, quipping that she hears he's "a big jewelry buyer — if I play my cards right!" Meanwhile, a second bikini-clad redhead cavorts in the background with a beach ball, and a perky figure graces the upper corner under the bold promise of "Extra! Frisky Bathing Beauties!" Charles Dennis brings a breezy, good-natured wit to the cover of Hello Buddies #65, delivering the kind of breezy seaside comedy that made this series a reliable laugh at the newsstand.
