When
Last We Left Our Heroine(s)...
Sixteen-year old Amy is thrilled her older sister Carol has a devoted boyfriend, Jackie.
However, Amy feels no one will ever love
her.
To complicate matters, their mother tries to keep
any males at arm's length from her daughters!
(Her attitude is
somewhat understandable, since the girls' father abandoned the family without a word.
But still...)
Then Amy meets Larry and falls for him like the proverbial ton of bricks!
All is right with the world, until...
Jackie breaks up with Carol, who then is crippled in a traffic accident as she rushes to her former lover!
Then, their mother goes
ballistic against
all men...
The artists on this story were Alex Toth (pencils) and Dick Giordano (inks).
Toth was the primary character designer for the Hanna-Barbera animation studio from the 1960s thru the 1980s, responsible for the "look" of their "realistic" shows from
Space Ghost to
Fantastic Four to
Super Friends to
Josie and the Pussycats! (as opposed to the more "cartoony"
Flintstones)
He had started his career in comic books in the 1940s, and liked to return to the field to do a couple of stories every year, as his animation schedule permitted.
As you can see, he hadn't lost his touch!
Next week:
We haven't decided yet what it'll be, but we can guarantee that...
You'll Cry Your Eyes Out if You Miss It!
(Oh, you've heard that, eh?)
And now a word from out sponsor...
