Star Love Stories in Pictures #868
In "Just Dreaming ...," a 1981 D.C. Thomson gem, Polly’s romantic daydreams take a surprising turn when her crush Chris finds himself caught between friendship and something deeper. As a fake identity blurs the line between fantasy and reality, a quiet moment of honesty reveals feelings neither expected. The story unfolds with gentle humor and heart, drawn in the expressive style of Alessandro Biffignandi, whose cover captures the dreamlike mood perfectly.

Polly thought Chris was terrific before she starting reading romance magazines and dreaming about the super guys in the stories. Chris confides in his friends about Polly's unrealistic fantasies. When Gavin sees how pretty she is, he uses a fake name and pretends to be in television advertising instead of a carpenter to go out with her. At first the ruse was a lark to have fun, but later he becomes serious about Polly. When Chris learns that Gavin is going out with Polly, he realizes he loves her as more than just a friend.
