My Little Margie #9
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeMargie's father pretends to be sick to get out of work, asking her to bring him pills and medicine with a "gruesome touch." She applies talcum powder to her face and visits his boss Mr. Honeywell's office, where she convinces the boss that her father has purchased a patent for a miraculous hair-growing product that will make them a million dollars. The scheme backfires when her father's hair and mustache fall out due to the patent formula, and Margie must find a way to fix the situation. The story concludes with Romeo and Daisy helping Margie operate the "smart boy" device, and Margie successfully getting her father to do his homework and household chores while keeping him occupied after school.
When Vern Albright tries to fake illness to snag an early vacation week at the lodge before his business rivals do, he finds himself in an escalating scheme—complete with talcum powder and crutches—that keeps backfiring as everyone in town scrambles with the same idea. With Margie pitching in as his reluctant accomplice, watch as one man's dodge to outsmart the competition spirals into the kind of hilarious chaos that only a determined father and his clever daughter can cook up.
Margie tries to cheer up her lonely neighbor Mrs. Odetts, so when a fortune teller predicts a handsome stranger will visit, Margie's father Vern becomes the unwitting test subject for a experimental hair product—with hilariously messy results. When the product proves to have unexpected uses beyond cosmetics, Margie seizes the opportunity to turn her dad's mishap into a second chance.
When Vern Albright accuses his daughter Margie of forgetfulness after a series of household mishaps—broken appliances, a missed guest arrival—the tables turn in this playful domestic comedy by Chic Stone. As Margie scrambles to fix everything and prepare for an important weekend visitor, her father's own absent-mindedness comes back to haunt him in the most embarrassing way. A lighthearted reminder that sometimes the person pointing out everyone else's mistakes is the guiltiest one of all.
Romeo Tubbs arrives at Miss Grizzly's class without his homework and decides he's too clever to face the consequences—so he hatches a scheme to distract the teacher with flattering notes before she can collect assignments. When his plan backfires in increasingly ridiculous ways, Romeo discovers that outsmarting authority might be trickier than he bargained for.
