The Adventures of Jerry Lewis #80

DC's long-running humor series delivers a perfectly absurd 1964 gag right on the cover: Jerry stands wide-eyed, watering a lush tree that sprouts dollar bills instead of leaves, while a glamorous redhead in a red polka-dot swimsuit hands him a telegram announcing that both the U.S. Treasury Department and the Bureau of Forestry want a word with him. Jerry's baffled response — "They want to see me? Gee — I wonder why?" — captures his endearing obliviousness in full force. Mort Drucker's cover art brings the joke to life with sharp comic timing, and Bob Oksner handles the interior story, making this a fun all-around package for fans of DC's lighter side.
