Little Lizzie #5

This charming 1950 Marvel humor comic captures everything delightful about the series: young Lizzie is swinging gleefully from a tree branch, eyes shut in pure joy, while a very startled ram with enormous curling horns gets a swift kick from the swing's arc. David Gantz's artwork brings a wonderfully loose, cartoony energy to the scene, with wildly expressive animals and a kid utterly oblivious to the chaos she's causing. It's the kind of warm, funny slice-of-life comics that made titles like this a staple of mid-century American childhoods.
