Judging by the colours used in that it's a 1970s strip. Some great sound effects too!

I had to double check my facts on this but its actually from the 50's,so around the same time as EC comics.

Cool! It was well ahead of it's time then! There's some fantastic line art to go with that colour palette too, I wonder if it was submitted as a monochrome piece and block coloured afterwards. Now that you've told me it's a 1950s piece you can see that it would totally mesh with the "beatnik" scene in the coffee bars and cafes at the time. Cool, daddio!

Love that art, straight from a warped version of a 70s girlie romance comic. Very reminiscent of the work of the now retired Arthur Ranson who used to draw "Anderson" in 2000AD among many other things. His early work is very much along those lines but became much more detailed and beautiful later.

Ranson's vision of Cassandra Anderson has never been equalled in my opinion and his other 2000AD work like "Button Man" is so stylish that it lifts the stories into the top tier of British comics work. Try the image below for a prime example!
