Timmy the Timid Ghost #39

A cheerful little ghost popping up to say "Hello!" to a startled artist at his drawing desk — that's the delightful self-referential gag Jon D'Agostino cooked up for this 1963 Charlton charmer. The hapless, bespectacled fellow lets out a "YEOW!" as Timmy materializes right over the very comic page being drawn, making this cover a fun wink at the comics-making process itself. Light-hearted and genuinely witty, Timmy the Timid Ghost #39 is a fine example of the warm, humorous spirit Charlton brought to its humor titles throughout the early sixties.
