What the…? FREEZE!! This is the Pun Police! You were going to say “needs to be SCALED up,” didn’t you? You’re under arrest for Dad Joke with the intent to create Cringe. Come along!
Fascists! You can’t do this to me! I regret nothing! Society is to blaame…
At least in 1946, the emphasis wasn’t on T&A, so it’s automatically better than the ones we’ve seen here before.
Although if fish-man bent over even a little, we’d see fish butt. I guess he doesn’t want to do that since then his giant googly eyes couldn’t look down her cleavage.

It’s rude to stare. It’s rude to do that, too.

Fish and fishwife.

You know, fwiw, for all the dated character of the, er, characters, I actually really like this cover.
