Cookie #52

When Jitterbuck and Cookie boast they can score romance and adventure anywhere, their girlfriends challenge them to prove it—leading the two goofballs on a wild misadventure that takes them far from the ritzy resort they promised and instead lands them in an exotic harem halfway around the world. Chased by angry pursuers, dodging everything from giant apes to snake charmers to palace guards, the two quickly discover that romance and adventure aren't quite what they cracked them up to be. It's a crazy romp through distant places that'll teach these cocky teens a lesson about bragging.

Jitterbuck's gossip column for the High School Herald becomes the source of hilarious chaos when two stories accidentally get switched in print—mixing up an announcement about free refreshments at the soda shop with news about the Sigma Omega sorority's open house, sending hungry students stampeding to the wrong location. As Jitterbuck scrambles to dodge angry mobs and placate everyone involved, he discovers that a little column mix-up can create plenty of unexpected complications.

In this lighthearted 1954 tale from Cookie #52, Angelpuss dreams of medieval romance, prompting Cookie, Jitterbuck, and Zoot to each try their hand at chivalry—though their efforts go entirely unnoticed by her. A sweet, silly slice of teen humor with a touch of timeless charm.
