TV Teens #9

Mopsy's quick wit and breezy confidence are on full display in this 1955 Charlton charmer, as the dark-haired heroine in pink cuts off her redheaded friend Nancy mid-introduction — making her own plans for the dapper, fedora-wearing gentleman leaning casually against the brick wall. Gladys Parker's clean, expressive linework captures the whole delightful social chess match in a single glance, with Mopsy's speech bubble doing the heavy lifting: "You run along, Nancy. I'll get acquainted with him and give you a nice formal introduction later, maybe!" It's the kind of warm, witty slice-of-life comedy that made Parker's work a genuine pleasure, and issue #9 delivers it with effortless style.
