Hello Buddies #97

Harvey's long-running humor anthology returns with issue #97, and Bill Wenzel's cover sets the comedic tone perfectly — a flustered railroad attendant mans the turnstile with a "To All Trains" sign while a leggy blonde in a red strapless outfit strolls through, prompting his deadpan quip, "Traveling light, aren't you!", as a suited onlooker watches from behind. The magazine's "Gals and Gags" promise is front and center, with a cheesecake pin-up figure even perched in the upper corner of the logo. Inside, Al Ross handles the writing and art, delivering the breezy, lighthearted comedy that made Hello Buddies a reliable laugh for a quarter in 1960.
