This one I'm grading strictly on style points. The book stars Fibber McGee and Molly, two well-known (at the time, anyway) radio stars ('Tain't funny, mcGee!). I don't remember ever seeing a humor book from the Golden Age (outside of maybe a Carl Barks Duck story or two or twenty) where a humorous story ran the full thirty two pages of the mag,with NO ADS. Pretty sweet if ya ask me.

Might the art be by Bob Oksner,who drew Jerry Lewis and Bob Hope for D.C.in the fifties and sixties? It looks like a golden age version of his style to me,but that could just be a generic thing,I don't know if he was even in the field at this time.

Love this story! But,McGee is an even bigger jerk than he is in the radio show and movies,which makes Molly even nicer.
