Advice d'Amour DEAR BEATRICE FAIRFAX "Heck of a Thing for a Man to be Doing!"

Before Dear Abby...
Before Ann Landers...
(and I'll bet no reader under 40 knows who they are!)...

Cover by Alex Schomburg
...she was the original "Miss Lonely Hearts" newspaper columnist!
From 1898...
The column's popularity resulted in a radio show, an action-packed silent movie serial where "Beatrice" herself intervened personally in matters both romantic and criminal (Girls have always loved "bad boys"!), and this short-lived 1950-51 comic which dramatized some of her columns!
Now on with today's never-reprinted tale from Standard's Dear Beatrice Fairfax #5 (1950)!
Don't ya just love a happy ending?
Though the scripter (who may have been a King Features Syndicate writer assigned to the project) is unknown, the artist was Vernon Greene, whose work we've already seen HERE.

INTIMATE LOVE "Kissing Tells"

Is it better to be a "good" or "bad" girl?
See, this never-reprinted feature from Standard's Intimate Love #21 (1953) proves good girls who occasionally neck get more guys than bad girls who let them get to "first base" (or more)!
Writer/artist Vernon Greene did a number of stories and one-page features for romance titles at both Standard and Atlas (later Marvel) in 1952-53 before returning to full-time work on various syndicated newspaper comic strips.
