The Friendly Ghost, Casper #154

Summer mischief takes center stage on this bright 1971 Harvey Comics cover, where Casper the Friendly Ghost watches wide-eyed as an ice cream cone erupts like a geyser right in front of him on the beach. Nearby, a flustered man in a cap juggles armfuls of dripping ice cream cones while a red-haired boy clutches his own treat and looks on in dismay. It's a perfectly cheerful, sun-soaked snapshot of the kind of lighthearted chaos that made Casper such a beloved fixture of childhood reading.
