Some women have little self-esteem...
...throwing themselves at men who don't appreciate them at all!
Bet if they did a follow-up to this never-reprinted tale from Fitzgerald Publications' Fast Willie Jackson #5 (1977), it would show Dee Dee sitting miserably with Helen, Tina, and Frankie!
In real-life, lack of self-esteem affects many intelligent, attractive women of all ethnicities, trapping them in unhealthy relationships!
Illustrated by Gus Lemoine, the script was either by him or publisher/editor Bertam Fitzgerald.
Previously, Gus pencilled shorts and a couple of covers at Archie Comics from 1967 to the mid-1970s.
The Fast Willie books were his final credited work.
(There is a theory that Gus was really Henry Scarpelli, a versatile humor artist who did work for Archie as well as Archie-clone books for both Marvel and DC.
The period when "Gus" was active at Archie was before Scarpelli's
credited work appeared there and disappeared after Scarpelli began receiving credit for his work on Archie titles.
So...it's like "Gee, Clark, we never see you when Superman's around! Why's that?"

Lois Lane couldn't prove it, either.
For the record, noted art identifier Martin O'Hearn believes Lemoine and Scarpelli are not the same person.)
