Wilbur Comics #79

In "A Genuine Imitation," Linda Moore pulls off a clever prank by mimicking Laurie Lake’s voice to invite everyone to a party at Laurie’s house—only for Wilbur Wilkin to spot the ruse. When Laurie calls back to correct the mix-up, the group ends up at Linda’s instead, giving Wilbur and Laurie a rare chance to be alone together.

In "With My Compliments," Wilbur Wilkin schemes to outwit Slats Morgan by crafting a treasure map meant to impress Laurie Lake at her party—only for Laurie’s father to accidentally claim the surprise meant for Wilbur, turning the prank into an unexpected twist.

In "Fight to the Finish," Wilbur Wilkin and Slats Morgan clash over Laurie Lake’s attention, leading to a dramatic coin toss to settle their rivalry. But when Laurie takes offense at being reduced to a prize, she calls off the date with both boys—leaving the outcome of their showdown hanging in the balance.
