Monday PSA: Tips on Summer Fun!
Filed under: Comics
It’s Memorial Day here in the United States, a holiday which has come to have two meanings. Traditionally and most important, it is a day set aside in memory of everyone who has died in service to our nation. Realistically, it also marks the more or less “official” start of summer, with most schools out and pools open. In the spirit of this second meaning of Memorial Day, I present this DC comics PSA from 1954 (with repeat appearance in 1959): Tips on Summer Fun. The characters are from the Peter Porkchops comic, which ran for 62 issues starting in 1949.
The writer of this PSA was Jack Schiff with art by Rube Grossman. It can be found in a variety of DC comics from August 1954 and August 1959, including Batman #85, Batman #125, Detective Comics #210, Detective Comics #270, Wonder Woman #68, and Wonder Woman #108.
