Subject Matter

Character(s): Ann Curtis; Mark Reed; Aunt Ellen
Synopsis: Ann is prim and proper. Ann meets Mark, a spontaneous, fun-loving young man, and they begin dating. Ann falls in love but considers Mark's pleasure in simple things such as running to the top of a hill or playing games at a birthday party childish and undignified. In spite of their differences, they decide to marry. Before the wedding Mark drops Ann, citing her joyless stiffness and unyielding correctness in everything. Time passes and Ann quietly acknowledges her mistakes and relaxes a bit. She meets Mark again, and, when Mark discovers she has softened, the two renew their relationship.

One day, he reappears at her door, having made the changes in his style and life she wanted. Although he is now everything she wanted in a man, Marge realizes that what she loved was the old Gene with all his little imperfections rather than the new, perfect Gene. Later, he admits he pulled the make-over stunt to teach her a lesson. He resumes his old self, and Marge is delighted.

Disclose Notes: Some feel the artwork resembles Graham Ingels' pencils, but since Ingles is not listed in the Who's Who as having worked at Fawcett, this is unlikely.
