Laugh Comics / Laugh #301
In "Measure Up," Dilton's latest attempt to win over a love interest hits a wall—literally—when his height proves too much of a hurdle, even for a plastic inflatable girlfriend. Things take a quirky turn when he meets a girl who's even smaller than him, only to discover she finds his company as flat as his stature. With Dan DeCarlo’s expressive art and Stan Goldberg’s lively cover, this 1976 classic captures teenage insecurities with a smile.
