Suzie Comics #53
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Suzie Goes West!", Suzie and her friends head out on a road trip with a twist: Taffy, eager to impress a new history teacher rumored to resemble a famous actor, finds her plans upended when the teacher reveals a surprising preference for a more natural style—no makeup, no fancy clothes, just authenticity. Written and illustrated by Bill Woggon in his signature early Archie Comics style, this 1946 classic captures the playful spirit of the era, with Al Fagaly’s vibrant cover art perfectly capturing the journey’s lighthearted energy.
Suzie’s Grandpa shows up for a visit, and she’s ready to nurse a frail old man—only to discover he’s full of energy, spouting slang, and obsessed with carnivals, boxing, and dancing the jitterbug.
In a delightfully awkward twist, Taffy Twist tries to impress the new history teacher—whom she’s heard resembles a famous actor—only to discover he’s drawn to a very different kind of girl. With Betsy Ross and Lotta Twist watching from the sidelines, and Oliver Twist caught in the middle, the classroom becomes a stage for unexpected crushes and the kind of teenage confusion only 1946 could capture.
