Jeanie Comics #21

Jeanie Comics #21 from September 1948 delivers a charming slice of postwar humor right on its cover, where the dark-haired, red-dressed Jeanie hammers a new portrait onto her wall — already home to two framed pictures of different suitors, one of whom grumbles in a speech bubble, "Holy smoke! When she first hung me here I didn't know I was gonna become part of a collection!" It's a wonderfully self-aware gag that says everything about Jeanie's romantic juggling act without needing a single page of story. A fun, lighthearted ten-cent treat that captures the breezy spirit of 1948 romance comics at their most playful.
