This sultry Christy girl was created at precisely the same time as Flagg's Uncle Sam, and both are saying "I Want You"—but with ever-so-slightly different inflections. Not only is this an interesting comparison to Christy's "Gee!! I Wish I Were a Man" (see PAI-XC, 75), but the sheer sexiness with which she dons the sailor's dress uniform anticipates the Van Heusen shirt campaigns of many years later.
