McCall's #8
“Assistant Hostess”
In "Assistant Hostess," a 1962 McCall's comic, a young boy struggles to recognize his mother at nursery school pickup—she’s one of many women dressed in the signature Jackie Kennedy style, all looking alike in their pillbox hats and tailored coats. Written and illustrated by Robert Day, this quiet, observant story captures a moment of childhood wonder and identity, rendered with gentle precision.
