Patsy and Hedy #46

The eternal rivalry between best frenemies gets a rainy-day twist on Al Hartley's charming cover for this 1956 Atlas title — Patsy (in her bright yellow coat) beams happily as a suave young man named Buzz shelters her under his umbrella, while a thoroughly unamused Hedy gets soaked on the outside. The speech bubbles say it all: Patsy chirps "Gee, Hedy! Aren't we lucky that Buzz came along with his umbrella?" as Hedy fires back a deadpan "Yeah… lucky!" Inside, Al Jaffee handles the full creative duties on the story "Somebody Love Me," promising the kind of breezy, sharp romantic comedy that made this series a delight throughout the decade.
