☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn this 1961 DC gem, Dobie Gillis faces a whimsical twist when Maynard’s wild imagination conjures a genie—played by Maynard himself—who steals Thalia away in a fantastical scheme. Back in reality, Thalia realizes her wealthy suitor isn’t quite as well-off as promised and finds her way back to Dobie, all drawn with the crisp, expressive style of Bob Oksner, whose distinct pencils and inks define the issue’s look both inside and on the cover.
In a whimsical twist of teenage romance, Dobie Gillis tries to win Thalia Menninger’s heart by imagining their relationship through increasingly absurd historical roles—starting with a prehistoric pairing where he’s a caveman and she’s a cavewoman. As Dobie spins these daydreams, the line between fantasy and his real-life crush begins to blur, all while Maynard G. Krebs and Milton Armitage observe with their usual mix of amusement and skepticism.
In a whimsical twist, Maynard G. Krebs spins a daydream where Dobie Gillis, played by Maynard himself, summons a genie who steals Thalia Menninger—only to find reality far more satisfying when Thalia returns to Dobie after realizing her wealthy suitor isn’t quite what he seemed.
