Valentine #5 August 1961
In "I'll See You in My Dreams," Jacky finds herself unexpectedly in charge of Nigel’s pampered dog Bonzo during his holiday, only to be overwhelmed by the beast’s demands. When the dog’s behavior strains her family life and forces her to make a daily trip to the kennels, she’s surprised to find the manager, Mick, has a familiar connection to the dog—and a growing interest in her. A 5d comic from August 1961, this story unfolds with quiet charm, drawn with expressive detail by Rafael Cortiella.

Nigel worked in the same office as Jacky and had been her secret heart-throb for months. When he asks her to look after his dog Bonzo while he is on holiday, she agrees. But Bonzo turns out to be a large, spoiled dog that is more than she can manage. Her mother demands that Bonzo be taken to the kennels, but Mick, the manager at the kennels, recognizes Bonzo and only agrees to take him in if Jacky agrees to exercise Bonzo separately from the other dogs every day. When Nigel returns, Jacky sees that he is as spoiled as his dog, but Mick is in the habit of seeing her and asks her out.
