“The License”

In "The License," Alfalfa finds himself caught between paying a toll to Toughie McGurk’s gang and being thrust into an unexpected role as an angel in his aunt’s Women’s Club play. When Toughie steals the Devil’s costume and hijacks the performance, Alfalfa’s aerial act turns into a chaotic flight he never saw coming. Written by Paul S. Newman and illustrated by David Gantz, this 1960 Four Color comic blends slapstick humor with a classic schoolyard clash, all brought to life with Gantz’s expressive art on both the interior and cover.

Alfalfa is having to pay "toll" to Toughie McGurk and his gang to cross the street. Alfalfa's Aunt Matilda plucks him from the ensuing scuffle (thinking he had started it) and tells him that he has to play an angel in her Women's Club play. The day of the play, Toughie and his gang waylay the child who's supposed to play the Devil in the play and Toughie dresses in his costume. Alfalfa is strapped in a flying harness for his role in the play, but Toughie mans the controls and gives him a wild ride.
