The Friendly Ghost, Casper #217

Casper the Friendly Ghost and his little friend in the red outfit are sharing a cheerful cloud-top picnic beneath a smiling sun, complete with sandwiches, a soda bottle, fresh fruit, grapes, and a wicker basket — while Casper happily declares, "This is a swell day for a picnic!" Harvey Comics' 1981 entry in this long-running series wraps a genuinely cozy scene in that signature bright yellow and pink palette that made these books such a pleasure to flip through. With writer Stan Kay and artist Warren Kremer bringing their talents to issue #217, this is exactly the kind of warm, lighthearted comics fun the series does so well.
