Pat the Brat #3

From the Archie Series comes this charming slice of mid-1950s mischief, as Pat the Brat demonstrates his enthusiastic — if ear-splitting — violin playing to the dismay of a wincing adult and a howling dog. The cover also treats readers to a pair of bonus vignettes: Pat sledding on a vacuum cleaner box in the upper corner, and a bathroom scene below where a frazzled woman orders "Robinson Crusoe... out of the tub!!" while Pat plays explorer in an upturned umbrella, all topped off by a yard sign that sums things up perfectly — "Beware of Little Boy." At just ten cents in 1955, this third issue of Pat the Brat promises the kind of gleefully anarchic humor that made Archie's humor line such a delight.
