Tessie the Typist Comics #22

This 1949 Marvel humor gem finds the ever-resourceful Tessie making her case to a stubbornly unmoved Mr. MacTavish — dressed in full Scottish kilt — that every other boss lets his typist vacation in the country. Unable to get the time off, she's improvised brilliantly at her desk: a sunlamp blazes away at her feet alongside a bottle of sun tan oil, turning the office into a one-woman resort. Morris Weiss's lively linework captures the comedic standoff with a warmth and wit that made this series a delightful slice of postwar funny-book entertainment.
