Candy O'ConnorTed DawsonTim O'ConnorMoose Manson

When Candy's father pushes her toward the muscular but unbearably self-absorbed Moose Manson, she agrees to a date—but on her own terms, expertly turning the evening into an exhausting parade of expensive tastes and conflicting whims that leaves the athlete absolutely drained. Ted Dawson watches from the sidelines as Candy uses her wits to solve a problem that brute strength never could, proving that sometimes the cleverest strategy beats raw power.

Gabby HyattAlgyMr. BugabooPeaheadPhilip SmedleyTaffy O'Toole

When Mr. Bugaboo assigns the biology class to bring in insect specimens, Gabby Hyatt's rare butterfly escapes before he can turn it in—and a nervous accident with the teacher's glasses leaves Mr. Bugaboo unable to examine any specimens closely. Faced with detention and a failing grade, Gabby scrambles to salvage his assignment before class begins, but the real test comes when he finally presents his last-minute specimen to an nearly-blind instructor.

Candy O'ConnorTinaTrish TraynorMiss Prunepit

When Candy O'Connor and Trish Traynor team up for their home-making midterm project, they decide to sew a pair of window curtains from three yards of material—a practical choice that just might earn them an exemption from future assignments. But what starts as a straightforward sewing lesson turns into a comedy of errors when mishaps and accidents threaten to derail their entry before it even reaches Miss Prunepit's judging table. In this 1954 tale from Candy #50, the girls discover that good intentions don't always translate to good results.

Candy O'ConnorAgnes O'ConnorTim O'ConnorTina

When Candy O'Connor borrows what she thinks is an electric power mower from her father's electrical store, she and her friend Tina end up with a wild, uncontrollable machine that has other ideas about what lawn work means. The chaos that follows brings an unexpected bonus: Candy's mom Agnes gets caught up in the mayhem, and by the time the dust settles, the household stands to gain something it's been needing for years. It's a lighthearted romp where good intentions and mix-ups lead to surprisingly happy accidents.

Gabby HyattTaffy O'TooleMr. KeebleMr. MilchPierre

Gabby Hyatt lands what sounds like a cushy executive position at the Centerville Courier, just in time to impress Taffy O'Toole when she lands her own gig as cooking editor of the school paper—and promptly expects him to take her to the fancy Golden Swan for dinner. What follows is a comedic scramble as Gabby tries every angle he can think of to scrape together enough money to make good on his boast, leading to some surprisingly resourceful (if increasingly desperate) schemes. It's a lighthearted romp about what happens when a teen's big talk collides with reality.
