After last week's rather grim (though "uplifting") tale torn from current real life...
...we thought you might enjoy a humorous "breather" from the 1950s, when men were doctors, women were nurses, and sexism ran rampant!
Pop Culture In-Joke: Both Dr Kildare and Dr Christian were popular 1930s-40s radio shows that both spun-off into b-movie series, though they never crossed-over as shown on the movie screen in the last panel!
Writer Stan Lee and artist Bill Everett (doing a great Dan DeCarlo imitation) makes this never-reprinted tale from Atlas' Nellie the Nurse V2N1 (1957) a quick, fun read by doing what reads like a classic vaudeville routine!
This was a reboot of the first Nellie the Nurse series which ran from 1945 to 1952 but aimed at a younger, less sophisticated audience. (You can see an example of that strip HERE.)
The revival didn't sell, and Nellie became a backup strip in Millie the Model to use up the inventory of stories created for the never-published #2 and 3!
