Monday PSA: Buzzy asks “What Are You Getting Out of School?”
October 13th, 2008
Filed under: Comics
Buzzy’s back for another public service ad, and if that isn’t enough to get you excited, it’s also another of the “Gee, isn’t school swell” DC comics was so fond of putting out in the 1950s and ’60s.
This PSA was written by Jack Schiff. Art once again by Win Mortimer, who as far as I can tell, drew all the Buzzy PSAs. This PSA was found in Action Comics #209, but can be found in other DC comics from October 1955 including Batman #97 (featuring “The Ballad of Batman and Robin”*), and Superman’s Pal Jimmy Olsen #8 (starring “Jimmy Olsen, Crooner” — maybe there’s a pattern here?).
* The words to the Ballad of Batman and Robin (at least according to the cover):
None known from / where they come / nor when, / but they strike / like lightning / at evil men! / Batman and Robin!

You have to admit, Jan did score one well-endowed, voluptuous gal. They must’ve matured pretty early in the 50’s.

“Cool, Jan, Cool!”

Damn straight, Jan. Screw education — school is where you hang out with your friends and party!

Jan is a straight-up pimp, no lie.
