prohibited on the beach
The third is The direct copy of the first, but the second is thematically of The same. The list of prohibited items and activities is worth a probe -- we see a change in the first to the third from "bikini bathing suits" to "bikinis" -- though, I do have to wonder if that could be applicable in the 1979 copy -- I guess that makes some sense in a world that deprives the youth of the pleasure of... Newspapers. The 1975 list includes "disrobing" and "topless bathing" -- which indeed are things prohibited in this code approved family comic book, and I like the word form it takes -- note the suffix "ing" -- make these two items an activity like most all the rest. (coulda gone with 'frisbeeing?)
