Patsy and Her Pals #23

Atlas Comics' teen humor series is in fine form with this July 1956 installment, featuring Morris Weiss's charming cover art. The scene captures a delightfully awkward social moment: two girls in the foreground exchange knowing glances as a smitten young man in overalls is visibly distracted from his work by a dark-haired girl at the door — with the speech bubbles making it clear that Hedy thinks it's shameful how Buzz loses focus, while Patsy plays it perfectly coy with "Really? I hadn't noticed!" All-new stories await inside, including "There Was Always Ned!" — light, fun reading at the classic ten-cent price.
