Cookie #17

Cookie, described as "the funniest kid in town," appears in multiple comedic adventures in this issue. In one story, Cookie gets into a romantic entanglement where a girl named Sally has feelings for him, while he insists he likes her just the way she is despite their financial differences; the situation escalates when a man named Slinky Gotlots arrives in his new hot rod, leading to complications including references to money and jealousy. Another story features Cookie being invited to a circus or show by someone named Zoot and his girlfriend Debbie, where Cookie must decide whether to attend; this leads to a subplot involving a model airplane that Debbie's boyfriend has constructed with a radio control and telephone wire capability. A separate Pickles feature also appears in the issue.
