    Stories and art by Matt Baker, Dana Dutch, and Warren King. An anthology series from St. John that alternated early romance comics with funny-animal characters from Paul Terry's Terrytoons. Shy Joan makes up fake boyfriends so she has something to talk about when the girls talk about boys, in a story with art by celebrated good-girl artist Matt Baker. In another Baker story, a woman gets a chance at stardom, but she's not sure she wants to compromise. A girl tries to shake a reputation for being "boy-crazy." I Tried to Make Love Pay Dividends; I Was a Broadway Casualty; I Fell in Love with My Boss; Two Loves Too Many; They Called Me Boy-Crazy. 48 pages, Full Color. Cover price $0.10.
