My Little Margie's Boy Friends #1
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free# My Little Margie's Boy Friends #1 This issue contains two stories featuring Margie and her boyfriends. In "Sorcerer's Apprentice," one of Margie's suitors attempts to impress her by using magic to obtain food and money, but his schemes backfire comically when his spells go awry. In "Number Please!," Freddie reads dating advice books to help him understand women, and uses mathematical logic to approach romance with Margie, leading to humorous romantic entanglements as he tries to apply his theories in real situations.
When Margie agrees to entertain a visiting South American businessman's son, she thinks she's met the perfect date—until his twin brother shows up and each brother tries to impress her by adopting the interests of the other. As the brothers compete for her attention before their sudden departure, Margie finds herself charmed by their misguided efforts, even if their stories don't quite add up.
A young man desperate for cash to take Margie to a big dance gets the opportunity of a lifetime when he's hired as an assistant to the Great Presto, a stage magician—but his new job comes with some genuinely unsettling risks, including the famous sawing-in-half illusion. When rabbits and chaos upend the evening's carefully planned act, our hero finds himself in an unexpected spotlight that changes everything about his night out.
College student Freddy drops in on his Aunt Mamie and Uncle Charlie for a surprise two-day visit, but his well-intentioned attempt to help out by moving a car sets off a catastrophic chain of mishaps around the house and garage. As chaos spirals from one disaster to the next, poor Uncle Charlie finds himself caught in the crossfire of Freddy's increasingly frantic attempts to fix things. By the time the dust settles, Aunt Mamie is left wondering how she'll survive the rest of his stay.
Freddie thinks he's cracked the code to romance—until he discovers that Margie, a girl in high demand, has a schedule packed with appointments and other suitors. When jealousy over her busy social calendar spirals into increasingly absurd mathematical metaphors, Freddie attempts to solve his dating dilemma the only way he knows how: by turning the whole situation into a numbers game. This lighthearted 1955 romp proves that sometimes the formula for love is anything but simple.
Rubbernose Randolph lands a job at a machine shop, only to be floored when the boss announces the meager weekly salary—a punchline that hits harder than any electrical shock in the plant. The story also catches up with Randolph as he brags about his new executive status, leading to an amusing encounter with an old acquaintance whose current job proves far less impressive than Randolph claims.
