Joker Comics #40

This January 1950 Marvel humor comic delivers exactly the breezy, good-natured comedy the title promises. The cover shows a glamorous blonde perched atop a barrel on a dock, wholly distracting a hapless fisherman who clearly can't focus on his line — while two young onlookers in a small rowboat deadpan, "Poor guy! He hasn't caught a thing all day!" and "Yeah, poor guy!" The gag lands with perfect comic timing, making this a charming snapshot of postwar funny-book humor featuring Millie, Hedy, and Tessie.
