# Mortie #3 (1953) This issue features "Mazie's Friend Mortie," a humorous story about teenage misadventures involving Mortie and his friends. In one story, Mortie attempts to impress a girl named Laura by offering her a fig sundae, but she declines in favor of a date with another boy. A separate storyline follows Mortie and a character named Jeanie as they accidentally strike an oil gusher while drilling, leading to comedic chaos when the stranded oil company arrives. In another sequence, Mazie takes a job as an antique clock deliverer, borrowing Flat-Top's cart to transport a valuable Van Plush clock to its destination, though she worries about keeping Mortie away from buying her an engagement bracelet.
