☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free# Kathy #6 (1951) This issue is an anthology featuring multiple stories. The cover announces winners of a Kathy Contest and shows Kathy in a chemistry lab. "Leroy: The Golf Instructor" depicts a comedic golf lesson where Leroy instructs a woman on proper form and stance. "Sister Grows Up" by Pat Cherr tells of Nick's annoyance with his kid sister Susy until she arrives at a dance looking glamorous, causing him to realize she has matured and he proudly shows her off to his date. Another story features Kathy and friends on a bicycle picnic outing that goes awry when Kathy loses control of her bike and crashes into a delivery truck, with humorous consequences for the cyclist Hank and his companions.
Kathy gets into a gymnastics mishap at school that accidentally knocks the dean's glasses off—right before an inspection by Lavinia J. Hackleberry, the stern school board president. Mistaken for Miss Hackleberry herself, Kathy finds herself leading the dean on a chaotic tour through the school while trying to escape the mix-up and salvage her chance to attend the prom.
Leroy Loomis takes on the role of golf instructor, but his student seems more interested in his personal qualities than his teaching tips in this 1951 humor tale. As Leroy peppers the golfer with corrections about stance and technique, the tables turn when his pupil poses an unexpected question about what he actually likes about them. A lighthearted look at how even the most well-intentioned lessons can take an amusing detour.
Kathy's got a romantic evening planned with Hank, but her family has other ideas—between her mother's furniture repair projects and her younger brother's persistent interruptions, poor Hank can't seem to catch a break (or a moment alone). As chaos erupts around them at every turn, Hank's patience wears thinner, and Kathy desperately tries to salvage what was supposed to be a special night.
Chester promised his girlfriend Ginger that teen idol Terry Jomo would perform at the school prom—a wild commitment he made to win her back from a rival. Now he's scrambling to deliver on his word, discovering that the singer's asking price is far steeper than expected, and Chester must find a creative solution before the big night arrives.
Kathy decides she needs to shed a few pounds and invites her pal Hank on a bicycle picnic to help her slim down—but their workout takes a wild detour when they lose control and crash into a fruit stand. Undeterred, the determined teen pushes onward through hilly terrain, convinced that the exercise will finally trim her down. By the time Kathy and Hank return home exhausted and footsore, she discovers the cruel irony of her effort—and decides that maybe her mother's cooking is worth reconsidering.
