Li'l Genius #17
In "She Who Laughs Last," young Ollie faces a classroom challenge to write about being a millionaire—only to surprise his teacher with a surprisingly thoughtful (and entirely un-written) response. Written, drawn, and inked by Frank Johnson, this 1958 Charlton gem captures a moment of quiet wit from a kid who sees the world differently. The cover, also by Johnson, perfectly frames Ollie’s mischievous, daydreaming expression.
