Tessie the Typist Comics #11

Mid-summer mayhem is on full display in this 1947 Marvel humor title, with Tessie water-skiing in a polka-dot swimsuit while fish leap dramatically beneath her board and a wide-eyed, red-haired fellow gets dragged helplessly through the waves on a rope. A second young woman in a striped bikini rides her own board in the background, adding to the cheerful aquatic chaos — all brought to life with snappy linework by cover artist Morris Weiss. Tessie the Typist Comics #11 is a delightful slice of postwar lighthearted fun, priced at a dime and packed with the breezy comedic energy that made this series a staple of 1940s funny-book charm.
