Swing with Scooter #21

Henry Scarpelli's cover for this September 1969 DC teen-humor series captures a perfectly chaotic beach-day moment: Scooter, helmeted and astride his red motorcycle with a sidecar, has one arm wrapped around a blonde girl in a green bikini rather than keeping both hands on the handlebars — prompting her alarmed cry, "Scooter! This is no time for one-armed driving!" Two beachgoers in the background watch the scene unfold with bemused expressions, while the familiar gang of character portraits lines the top of the cover. It's the kind of breezy, lighthearted mischief that made Swing with Scooter a cheerful staple of DC's teen-comedy lineup in the late 1960s.
