The Friendly Ghost, Casper #226

A day at the beach gets delightfully punny on this 1986 Harvey Comics cover, where Casper floats gleefully above a picnic spread, hoisting a sandwich aloft while Wendy the Good Little Witch works her magic wand — conjuring a swirl of stars, bread, and sandwich fixings into the air. Casper's quip, "Wendy, you make a great sand-witch!", says everything about the cheerful, groan-worthy humor Warren Kremer brings to his cover pencils. With a seaside picnic basket, a soda bottle, and beachgoers in the background, issue #226 captures the warm, whimsical charm that made Casper a beloved staple of kids' comics.
