Swing with Scooter #23

A groovy slice of late-sixties teen comedy from DC, Swing with Scooter #23 features a cover by Henry Scarpelli that says it all: Scooter and his rock-and-roll crew — guitarist, drummer, and a couple of alarmed girls — stare wide-eyed as a massive, scowling neighbor in a purple bathrobe stomps away, clearly unimpressed by their jam session. The speech bubble asks, "Do you get the feeling he didn't dig rock music?" — a punchline that perfectly captures the generational clash at the heart of "The 'Cats' Go to the Dogs!" Colorful, playful, and full of 1969 charm, this is teen-humor comics firing on all cylinders.
