Girl Confessions #16
In "The Long Wait!", college student Lorna finds herself at the center of romantic tension when football player Cliff refuses to play along with her usual charm. Though she initially rejects his quiet devotion, choosing instead to attend a sorority dance with her former boyfriend Newt, Cliff’s unexpected actions—punching Newt and walking out—leave Lorna reeling. When Cliff later asks her father for her hand in marriage, her perspective shifts in a moment that feels both surprising and inevitable. Morris Weiss handles both art and inks for the story, while Al Hartley delivers the cover.
