Jonesy #2

Quality Comics' teen humor series brings the laughs in this October 1953 issue, with a cover scene set right in the heart of soda-fountain culture. Jonesy leans against the counter looking mighty pleased with himself while a dark-haired girl in a plaid skirt spins energetically next to the jukebox — her speech bubble says it all: "I'm sure glad you learned to jitterbug, Jonesy!" A bemused soda jerk watches the whole scene from behind the counter, milkshake in hand, completing this charming snapshot of 1953 teen life that promises plenty of "gags and gals and teen-age pals" inside.
