Joker Comics #24

A stylish blonde in a smart orange dress pauses on the sidewalk, clutching a copy of Joker Comics herself as she takes in a theatrical sandwich-board sign promising "Starring All… Your Laff Favorites" — with a cheerful cast of cartoon faces peering out from the board. It's a wonderfully self-aware bit of 1946 humor, the comic literally advertising itself to one of its own readers. Morris Weiss brings a polished, lively energy to the cover art that makes this ten-cent package feel like a genuine event.
