Patsy Walker #14

Patsy Walker #14 (1948) delivers a delightfully mischievous garden scene straight from Al Jaffee's pen — a dark-haired young woman and a bewildered fellow in a plaid jacket sit together among the flowers, blissfully unaware that a redhead nearby is aiming a garden hose their way. Meanwhile, a blonde onlooker watches from the background with a knowing smirk, her speech bubble cheekily predicting the romance will be "all washed up." With the promised story "An Affair of the Heart!" inside, this issue captures all the breezy, comedic charm that made Patsy Walker one of 1948's most entertaining teen-romance titles.
