☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "A Record Performance," young Alvin faces a sticky situation after accidentally using his father's shaving cream on his dog, leading to a swift spanking and a dramatic decision to run away. Along the way, he encounters Kathy, another kid on the lam, but their plans stall when she takes too long to get ready—leaving Alvin to reconsider his adventure. Lloyd White’s expressive artwork brings the quiet humor and heartfelt moments of this 1959 Dell classic to life, with both the story and cover drawn entirely by him.
In "A Record Performance," Tubby’s disastrous violin recital at a music shop gets recorded and brought to Gloria’s birthday party—where, much to his dismay, it’s played for all to hear. The story captures the cringe-worthy charm of a kid’s well-intentioned but wildly off-key moment, turning a celebration into a symphony of awkward laughter.
Alvin’s plan to run away after a shaving cream mishap hits a snag when his friend Kathy drags her feet getting ready—so long, in fact, that he ends up turning back home before she even finishes packing. A lighthearted, classic 1959 slice of childhood mischief from Marge's Tubby #35, this six-page tale captures the fleeting drama of a boy’s grand escape and the quiet return to what’s familiar.
