Pat the Brat #24

This Archie Series gem from 1958 captures the timeless domestic comedy of Pat the Brat at its most charming — on the cover, a flustered red-haired mom answers the telephone while young Pat comes skidding through the front door in a cloud of dust, shouting "Hey Mom! If that's Mr. Taylor... I'm not home!" The gag practically writes itself, and Bob White's lively linework sells every ounce of the chaos. At just a dime, issue #24 is a warm slice of mid-century humor that fans of Archie's lighter fare will thoroughly enjoy.
