Description
I've long been of two minds with regard to Bill Ward. On one hand, he made some of the very best cartoon images of female beauty ever. On the other hand, he fell into a more goofy style, no doubt influenced by his steady work at Cracked, which is not my preference. He did some wonderful pioneering GGA and some of the raunchiest sex gags of his time.


This is an example of the Bill Ward at his best during his Cracked period. The lady is downright angelic, at least from the neck up. That face wouldn't look out of place on an angel. The body is delicious male fantasy. Even the guy looks funny rather than grotesque. The gag is passable and not raunchy.


According to the notations on the back, this was published at least twice, the May 1964 issue of Fun House and the and either the February or July (or both) issues of Breezy. This is actual size.
