Number 1749: Life of the party

Jack Davis (!!!) is a clown. He goes to parties and does obnoxious things to get people to laugh. But the girl he is trying to impress, Joyce, isn’t impressed at all. In one of the rare love comics told from a man’s point of view, Jack learns his lesson and to win Joyce, he has to tone down the comedy.

Ah, bull-loney. There is nothing wrong with a lampshade on the head. I wear mine at all parties. I also take along my squirting lapel flower, my hand buzzer and my personal favorite, a Whoopie Cushion. However, after reading this story, I wondered if that is the reason I haven’t been invited to a party in over 40 years. Just in case it isn’t, if anyone ever invites me again, my gear is ready.

Artist and writer unknown. “The Life Of the Party” is from Darling Love #2 (1950).

I went to YouTube after being told in “Platter Patter” that “You’re Breaking My Heart” by Vic Damone “promotes romance with a capital ‘R’!” Bring it on, Vic! I’ll bet Vic was popular at parties.
