Today in Comics History, April 23: Happy birthday, Sandra Dee!

🎵Look at me, I'm a L.S.B.🎵...and I'm here to wish a very happy birthday to Miss Sandra Dee, born on this day in 1942! You may remember Sandra from such fine movies as The Reluctant Debutante, A Stranger in My Arms, Gidget, That Funny Feeling, The Daughters of Joshua Cabe, and of course that "Tammy" movie that didn't star Debbie Reynolds or Beulah Bondi: 1961's Tammy Tell Me True, which was adapted into an ish of Dell's perpetual Four Color series.

More or less the plot: Tammy's a swamp girl


NO NOT THAT ONE

...who falls for her college teacher.

Sandra Dee hangs out with birthday buddy Will Shakespeare!


Will it end happily? Why, what do you think?: it's a Sandra Dee movie!


Happy birthdee, Sandra Dee!

If she pulls Shakespeare's head back, does it reveal the Tammy Poles to the Tammy Cave?

I wish I'd thought of that!

I'm shocked you didn't.

I am too! Must’ve been distracted wondering where she got that green shirt.
