Timmy the Timid Ghost #21

Timmy the Timid Ghost pitches in for civic duty on this cheerful 1960 Charlton cover, wielding a giant pencil like a mop as he enthusiastically helps clean up a city park beside a wire trash can marked "Keep Our City Clean!" The little ghost's wide smile and energetic pose make community spirit look genuinely fun, and George Wildman's cartooning gives Timmy a warmth that's hard to resist. A great snapshot of Charlton's lighthearted humor line at its most good-natured, with a Transogram Sweepstakes promotion and pony giveaway rounding out this delightfully of-its-era ten-cent package.
