Patsy and Her Pals #15

A sunny beach day turns into a comedy of demands on this cheerful 1955 cover by Morris Weiss, where a red-haired girl in a striped swimsuit and a dark-haired girl in a black one both tug at the attention of poor, outnumbered Buzz — one wanting an umbrella and a floating raft, the other lobbying for ice cream sodas, while Buzz can only wish he'd stayed home. Weiss brings a light, breezy touch to the trio's beachside banter, capturing the playful spirit that made Patsy Walker's world so appealing to mid-1950s readers. With all brand-new stories inside, issue #15 is a delightful snapshot of vintage humor comics at their most carefree.
