Dr. Wertham always flunked me, because I could never see what he could see in those old comics. But I do know that the line “Something NEW has been ADDED!” — that’s just asking for trouble.
I note that Lala Palooza seems shocked, but Rusty Ryan is amused. Blimpy? Well, one never knows about Blimpy, does one? Swing Sisson’s attention seems to be elsewhere. I’ll bet Dr. Wertham could tell you where.
Fascinating piece by Dr. Wertham here:
