For my viewers: A kitschy hand-made Valentine’s Day card just for you… (Click to view full-size)
The comic-book panel comes from Beware #10 (July 1954 – Trojan Magazines), and for some reason that single-panel cracked me up bad!
The sheer naïveté of these old things is just priceless, and many of them have expired copyrights and are now in the public domain. A good place to get your fill is The Digital Comic Museum, but don’t say I didn’t warn you – these things are worse than potato chips! (And about as healthy.)
Beware #10 featured cover art by Frank Frazetta and Sid Check … though I’m afraid Bob and Linda met an unfortunate end in their story. (And he didn’t get a job – even with those pants.)
I also made use of the Hand-Drawn Heart Brushes by This ‘n That.
Happy Valentine’s Day, Modern Lovers!
