☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis issue contains three stories featuring teenage protagonist Kathy. In "I Wanted to Be an Artist," a young woman recalls how she took a boring job after high school, but sketched in her spare time and eventually discovered her artistic talent through a free talent test, leading to a career as a professional artist. "Nurse to You" follows Kathy as she attempts to impress a handsome new policeman by posing as a nurse, but her disguise fails when she accidentally splashes him with a pan of fried chicken. A third comic story shows Kathy cooking fried chicken that she destroys when startled, resulting in a kitchen mishap.
When Kathy decides she needs a new dress for the prom, she hatches a scheme to get her father to pay for it—but her plan backfires spectacularly. Determined to earn the money herself, she disguises herself as a boy and lands a job as a newsboy, only to discover that delivering papers is far trickier than she expected. As one mishap leads to another, Kathy learns a lesson about shortcuts, honesty, and what really matters.
When Alice needs three yards of cloth matched for a project—and quick—she turns to Bingo, figuring this is his big chance to finally impress a girl. What follows is a chaotic romp through Bumble's Department Store as Bingo's simple errand spirals into a series of increasingly wild mishaps that have security on his tail and the whole floor in upheaval. By the time he triumphantly delivers the goods, he's about to learn that sometimes the real punchline hits harder than any of the store's disasters.
Kathy spots a handsome new policeman and becomes convinced he'll only notice her if she dresses up as a nurse—so she ropes her friend Hank into an elaborate scheme involving a borrowed baby carriage and a homemade uniform. What starts as a simple bet quickly spirals into comedic chaos when the plan goes hilariously awry on the street.
When Henry Tyler invites his boss Mr. Pringle to dinner hoping to secure a transfer to the company's Eastern office, the evening spirals into chaos as Midgie accidentally sabotages the meal—not once, but repeatedly. Through a series of increasingly disastrous mishaps, the family's hopes seem to crumble, but Mr. Pringle's final decision might surprise everyone.
