☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis cheerful 1957 Dell issue spotlights Taffy, a grinning blonde girl cradling an adorable spotted Dalmatian puppy, while a stout woman in a blue coat and hat clutches a small gray dog of her own — a warm, lighthearted cover full of canine charm. The bright red background and the promise of "All Brand-New Stories" (including the delightfully titled "Timing an Egg with a Piano") make this ten-cent comic an inviting slice of mid-century family fun. Fans of gentle humor and lovable animals will find plenty to enjoy in this Dotty Dripple and Taffy adventure.

Taffy spends a week working for Mrs. Browne to earn $12 to buy a birthday present for her father. As she is going to buy the present, she gives into temptation and buys herself a doll for $7. Later she meets Patty, who has lost a $5 bill her father gave her to buy some things for him and who is afraid she'll be punished when she goes home. Taffy gives her the $5 she has left and gets her father a card for a quarter. Taffy's mother thinks Mrs. Browne only paid her a quarter for the week's work and tells her off, which sets off a feud between the two families.
