Leave It to Binky #55

Sun, sand, and romantic confusion make for a perfect summer cover on this 1956 DC comedy gem. Bob Oksner's breezy artwork captures Binky caught between two young women on the beach — a brunette in a yellow swimsuit on one side and a scolding blonde in a black ruffled outfit on the other — while a beach ball sails past his oblivious grin, prompting the delightful quip, "Next time, Binky, keep your eye on the ball, instead of the belle!" As if the laughs weren't enough, the cover also teases a gigantic contest with 5,000 prizes inside, making this a fun slice of mid-1950s teen humor.
