Leave It to Binky #61

A sun-drenched summer outing goes comically sideways on the cover of this 1968 DC teen humor title, where a determined young photographer crouches in the crashing surf, camera raised and calling "Smile!" — only to get the panicked reply "I can't! It's my dad's camera!" from a blonde girl posing on the beach in her red bikini. Bob Oksner's clean, expressive linework captures the breezy, lighthearted tone that made Leave It to Binky such a fun slice of late-'60s teen comedy. With a lighthouse in the background and a wave about to drench the hapless shutterbug, it's a perfectly timed snapshot of adolescent misadventure.
