Here's a never-reprinted Valentine's Day treat...
...from almost 80 years ago years ago, featuring a teen humor character from the company that later became Marvel Comics!
Until the mid 1970s when Archie Comics became the sole "teen humor" publisher, every company had several titles with wacky teenage protagonists.
Margie, created/written/illustrated by Morris Weiss was typical of the genre...
Margie went back to being a floating backup strip for another year before disappearing completely, never to be seen again!
This particular tale (one of the few comic tales I could find with "Valentine's Day" in the title that didn't deal with the famous gang-war massacre!) is from Timely's Margie Comics #37 (1946).
Margie, created/written/illustrated by Morris Weiss was typical of the genre...
- Irresponsible, impulsive teen (of either gender)!
- Usually-clueless object of affection!
- Constantly-irritated parents!
- An annoying younger sibling (usually of the opposite gender to the protagonist)!
- Various eccentric friends!
