In "The Write Way," Josie and the Pussycats tackle a surprising twist when their attempt to comfort Alan M. after his second-place finish in a competition backfires—because he’s actually thrilled with his result. Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life with Dan DeCarlo’s signature style, Jim DeCarlo’s inks, Barry Grossman’s colors, and Bill Yoshida’s letters, this 1979 milestone issue captures the band’s heartfelt dynamics. The cover by Stan Goldberg and Henry Scarpelli perfectly captures the moment’s playful tension.

In "Great Loss," Jo and the gang rally around Alan M. after his second-place finish in a big athletic event, convinced his heart must be broken—only to learn he’s actually proud of his performance. The girls’ well-intentioned pep talk backfires in the best way, revealing a moment of unexpected joy in a small, perfectly observed comic beat.
