Junie Prom Comics #7

Junie visits a fortune-teller who predicts she'll fall for a tall, intelligent blond, prompting her to search the library for her destined match—where she literally crashes into Horatio Blackstairs, a bookish boy from her algebra class. When a scheme to win Junie back goes hilariously awry, she discovers that fate might work in mysteriously funny ways.

Dexter tries everything to help his sleep-deprived pop get some rest, from a motorized rocker to a phonograph playing lullabies, but each well-intentioned scheme backfires spectacularly. When softer methods fail, he turns to alarm clocks as a last resort—though whether this final attempt actually brings peace is left to the reader's imagination. It's a lighthearted romp through the chaos that ensues when a determined teenager decides he knows exactly what his cranky father needs.

When Dru schemes to sabotage Junie's appearance for the costume ball by giving her a disastrous permanent wave, she doesn't count on Junie's resourcefulness—or the judges' sense of humor. This 1949 teen comedy plays the ultimate prank reversal as Junie's ruined hair becomes her ticket to an unexpected triumph.

When a girl worries she's losing her boyfriend, she turns to a self-help book by the glamorous Lana Lee Hayworth—only to discover that following its advice on how to hold a man leads to one hilarious disaster after another. As Junie tries everything from playing the clinging vine to making Mike jealous, her schemes backfire spectacularly, costing him his job and nearly his patience. In the end, she learns that the real secret to keeping a man has been inside her all along.
