Patsy and Hedy #64

The friendly rivalry between best frenemies Patsy and Hedy is on full, funny display in this June 1959 issue, with Al Hartley's cover capturing a priceless moment: Hedy gleefully presenting a wildly unflattering caricature portrait of Patsy on an easel, while a red-headed Patsy protests indignantly — only for Hedy to insist the painting is actually too flattering. It's a wonderfully charming slice of the light, witty humor that made this series such a delight, and at a dime a copy, Marvel was delivering sharp comic timing and expressive character work in every panel.
