Homer, the Happy Ghost #20

Even a "Keep Off the Grass" sign is no match for Homer's cheerful defiance — this July 1958 issue features Dan DeCarlo's delightful cover of the little white ghost blithely floating above the lawn while a flustered, finger-wagging police sergeant looks on in exasperation. It's a perfectly charming snapshot of Homer's mischievous good nature, rendered with DeCarlo's clean, expressive linework that made this series such a warm-hearted treat.
