Synopsis

Teacher Janice,“not yet 27 years of age,” fears she’ll be an old maid. After striking out with some old flames, she sets her sights on fellow teacher Peter but he’s too shy and boring. Janice goes on a cruise to Europe in search of love and adventure and meets Carl. In Luxembourg, Carl asks Janice to hold a package for him, and she discovers it is a stolen painting. Janice is charged with theft but Peter learns of this and sends his life savings to pay the damages. Janice returns to the USA and Peter’s arms.

This issue has two single pages that have been tipped in (page 5-6 and 15-16) with only a thin strip of paper on the opposite side of the staples, rather than the usual double-page spreads (4 pages) throughout the comic.
