Before teen books like the Archie line dominated humor comics...
...there were...I suppose you'd call them..."young adult" humor comics like this one!
BTW, this opening panel's situation does not appear in the story...
In many ways, these comics are the screwball comedy b-movies / TV situation comedies of their era, as this never-reprinted tale from Timely's Nellie the Nurse #2 (1946) demonstrates!
Nellie had a healthy 36-issue run from 1945 to 1954.
She also popped up as a back-up feature in Willie Comics, Comedy Comics, and Millie the Model from time to time.
BTW, we mentioned Archie Comics earlier in this post.
When Nellie was revived in the late 1950s by Timely's successor, Atlas Comics, guess what style she was drawn in?
Saw that one coming, didn't ya?
