Indexer Notes

Credits from Jerry Bails. End of series. Next appearance in The Brave and the Bold #62.

Keith Chandler : The art was previously credited to Arthur Peddy ?, but none of his style is evident. This looks more to be the work of Gil Kane (whom Bails credits with working on this feature during this period).

Genre

humor

Characters

Willy Nilly; Betty; Mr. Needles; Dexter Dumwood

Synopsis

After collecting Betty's new dress from the tailor, Willy gets it covered in mud, so a section has to be removed. She herself puts an iron through it, so has to wear another dress. But sneaky Dexter drops Willy in it by producing the cut-off hem from the tailor's shop. It backfires when they enter the dance and discover that all the girls are wearing the same style as the ruined dress, so Betty stands out from the crowd.
