Owner's Description
Leave it to Binky #29 is referenced in Geoffrey Wagner’s “Parade of Pleasure” (POP) in the text on page 76.
Wagner characterizes comic books such as “Leave it to Binky” as “adolescent-girl” books and criticizes these comics for their portrayal of women as dominating figures. On page 76 he describes Leave it Binky #29 as follows “In all these adolescent-girl comic-books, in fact, woman occupies a dominating position in the pre-marital mix-up. ‘Sis’ comes out on top. And, after reading of this kind of courtship, how thankful I felt that I had not myself gone through that stern school, that which a mincing machine would seem to be more tender. ‘What do I do now, Teacher?’ a balloon-breasted lass asks her judo instructor on the cover of Leave it to Binky no 29, as she heaves her boy-friend over her shoulder in an excruciating flying mare.
