Candy #53

The issue features a lead story in which Candy O'Connor is accused of two-timing a boy named Ted on television. When confronted by two other girls about allegedly dragging her along on a "vulgar sale," Candy navigates the misunderstanding and eventually encounters shoplifters at a store, suspecting they are after her. The story culminates when Candy and her friend Weepy agree to help wash dishes at a diner to make it to a dance by 9:30, but Weepy's scheme to accept a date from an undesirable boy at a soda fountain goes awry, leaving him to clean up the mess he created while Candy deals with the aftermath.
