Sugar Bowl Comics #5

When Ginny Lambert gets angry at Snazzy Shoppes for price-gouging on a dress she wanted, she rallies her friends to make their own instead—sparking an unexpected boycott that threatens the shop's business. But her brother Niccy has other plans: he's been hired to stop the girls' dressmaking campaign, and he'll do whatever it takes, even if it means turning himself into Ginny's unwilling fashion consultant with paper clips and staples. By the time the dust settles at the Saturday night dance, this madcap scheme teaches everyone—including Ginny—a lesson about standing up for what's fair.

Randy and Stonewall, two rival rowers, must put aside their fierce competition to work as teammates on the high school rowing squad—but when vicious rumors spark a challenge between them, the two friends face suspension and a broken romance with Sue. Can they see through the scheming that threatens to wreck not only their team, but their chance at the state regatta?

When Wendy Dayton worries that her friend Sandy Thompson thinks she looks middle-aged, she decides to prove her youthful beauty by applying a new clay treatment—but leaves it on far too long, and the hardened mask becomes impossible to remove. What follows is a wild comedy of escalating mishaps as her panicked parents drag her from a stone cutter to a hospital, while Sandy races to make amends for the careless remark that started it all.

A young fellow gets his wires crossed trying to impress a new neighbor with the right kind of music, only to discover she's not quite what he expected—and neither are his chances of winning her over with borrowed taste.

It's a fun romp through 1949 youth culture that proves sometimes the coolest move is admitting you don't know what you like.
