Patsy Walker #57

This March 1955 Atlas charmer finds Patsy Walker looking thoroughly unimpressed as a large brown dog affectionately nuzzles a young man on the sofa — who, oblivious to the real source of the compliment, delivers the speech bubble's priceless line about her hair being "soft and beautiful." A dancing woman on the purple television set in the background adds an extra touch of mid-'50s domestic comedy to the scene, all rendered with Allan Jaffee's light, expressive linework. Co-starring Hedy Wolfe and promising brand-new stories, this is a delightful slice of Atlas-era teen humor at its most warmly relatable.
