Pat the Brat #4

This cheerful 1956 Archie Series entry delivers pure mischief on every inch of its bright yellow cover. The main scene finds a frazzled mother seated across from a child psychiatrist — while Pat perches atop a towering stack of books on his desk, leaving the doc blissfully unaware — with the caption deadpanning, "Don't worry so much about Patty, Mrs. Smith… you know how little boys are!" Two smaller vignettes show Pat gleefully causing chaos at a "Girls Club — Boys Stay Out!!" clubhouse and swaggering into a stationery shop with a toy pistol, demanding "A bottle of ink, pardner!" At just a dime, issue #4 captures the lovable, unstoppable energy of one of Archie's most delightfully troublesome little characters.
