Love Letters
10 pp · humor

Young Natch Kilroy needs to win back his girlfriend Judy after she catches him walking with another girl—and he thinks a heartfelt love letter is just the ticket. When a friend suggests copying one from his father's old stash in the attic, Natch discovers his old man was quite the romantic, but the plan goes hilariously sideways when the whole neighborhood gets wind of the mushy correspondence. It's a classic case of good intentions and terrible timing in this 1949 humor romp from The Kilroys.

Fair and Colder
9 pp · humor; teen

When a magazine article about the Polar Bear Club inspires a dare, Natch and Jackson find themselves committed to an icy swimming challenge on a brutally cold winter day—though their bravado quickly crumbles once they're actually at the frozen lake. Both boys scramble to back out while trying to save face, dragging their friends and their exasperated parents into the chaos. It's a funny romp through the misadventures of two teens learning that sometimes the hardest part isn't the cold water—it's admitting you were wrong in the first place.

Bubble Trouble
8 pp · humor; teen

Katie Kilroy is desperate for a bubble bath before dinner, but when a grocery delivery mix-up lands her with the wrong product, her attempt at glamour turns into a soapy catastrophe that leaves everyone scrambling for solutions. This 1949 humor story from The Kilroys plays the chaos for all it's worth as Katie and her family discover that sometimes the simplest beauty routine can create the biggest mess.

Natch and Jackson organize a high school leg show to raise money for a swimming pool, but when a girl named Portia convinces Miss Crunchpitt to run the contest fairly—showing only the contestants' legs below the knee, not their faces—the two judges find themselves scrambling to identify which pair belongs to Natch's girl, Judy. As the curtain rises on contest night, the boys make their best guess and crown the winner, only to discover they've picked the most unexpected girl in the lineup.

Pop Was a Sheik

When Edgar decides to dust off his old ukulele from the attic, he discovers the instrument is making a surprising comeback with the kids at their platter party—and suddenly finds himself the unexpected star of the evening. As the teenagers flock to hear him play tunes from his courting days, Edgar's newfound popularity threatens to derail the evening plans his wife had in mind. It's a lighthearted look at how the old can become new again, and how one man's trip down memory lane turns into an instant hit with the younger generation.
