She's Josie #9

This sunny 1964 installment of She's Josie captures the gang in a cheerful outdoor scene, with the stylish, blonde Josie standing center stage in her signature red slacks while a red-haired girl leaps excitedly in the background, newspaper in hand, thrilling over the World's Fair. A boy and a dark-haired girl seated on a nearby bench exchange amused glances as Melody's charmingly literal wordplay gets a gentle reality check — "I don't think that's what she means, Melody!" It's a warm slice of early-'60s teen humor brought to life with the clean, expressive linework of cover artists Dan DeCarlo and Rudy Lapick.
