I admit to being a little puzzled by this last cover: I'm not familiar with Windy and Willy - is the joke there meant to be that they're counter-culture guys of some kind who aren't attracted to the conventionally pretty girls in the picture? But what else would they expect to see at the beach? Also, it's a bit strange that they look a bit more like beatniks than hippies, though the 15-cent cover price would indicate that this is from the late 60s or early 70s.

I'm guessing it's just a lame attempt at humor. But Bob Oskner sure draws pretty women.

Windy and Willy was made up of retouched issues of Dobie Gillis. I think Oksner (who drew the originals) modified the stats himself, adding things like granny glasses, medallions, longer hair, bellbottoms and godawful clothing patterns. I've got one of the stats somewhere. I think the joke is that, sure these girls are pretty, but they're not really pretty. Doesn't really work. (Maybe we should have a captioning contest.)

Whoah. Nice one! I would have bet money I was familiar with all the 15 cent DC titles, but this is a new one to me.
