Leave It to Binky #59

A sunny beach outing sets the stage for classic teen-humor misunderstanding in this October 1957 installment of DC's Leave It to Binky. Bob Oksner's cover captures Binky mid-stroll in his bold patterned shirt and red trunks, cheerfully insisting to his blonde companion that he hasn't even noticed the girl in the red-and-white striped bathing suit — while rattling off every detail of her outfit with suspicious precision. It's a perfectly timed comic beat, rendered with Oksner's clean, expressive linework and all the breezy charm that made this series a reliable laugh at a dime a copy.
