Hmmm. Girls dressed in men’s suits? Kinda sexy, actually. Cartoonists dressed in the model’s swimsuits? Urr. Uhhhh. NO! My brain! My BRAIN!!

I too was pleased by the fire helmets. Those the lack of shriner hats despoils the whole proceedings.

I’d really like to know who all those people are, too. We need us a 1950’s cartoonist scholar.

Oh. Yeah. That’s my own bad. I use “bikinis” as a sort of generic for swimsuits, but you’re absolutely right that they’re one-piece swimsuits.

Hilarious stuff, Paul. Aside from Andriola, I wonder if anyone can help us identify the cartoonists here. I only know that’s George Wunder (not Caniff) drawing ‘Terry’.
