The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis #26

In "The Bewitched Beatnik! Part 1," Paulette Breen—recent winner of the Palisades Amusement Park's Miss American Teenager contest—drops a surprising truth on Bob and his friends: girls don’t like guys who smoke. Written by Jack Schiff and illustrated by Sheldon Moldoff, with lettering by Ira Schnapp, this 1964 DC comic captures the lighthearted charm of teenage life with a twist that sets the tone for a summer of misadventures. The cover by Sheldon Moldoff perfectly captures the playful, slightly surreal energy of the story.
