Notes: Spelling note: The correct spelling of "momento" is "memento". However, according to Dictionary.com, the mis-spelled version "occurs so frequently in edited writing that some regard it as a variant spelling rather than an error." (see http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/memento). Therefore, this is most likely not an editorial oversight.

Notes: The song that Midge is referring to is probably "Hold That Tiger (Tiger Rag)" by Claude King. This song was the flip-side of "Catch A Little Raindrop", so it could very well have been played in jukeboxes. It is not known when the single was released, but singles were often released well in advance of the album, and the album containing this song was released in December 1965 - only a few months after the comic.

Notes: Another sign of how things have changed. Besides the fact that phone booths are not very common anymore, this particular booth had a rotary-dial phone, and slots for both a dime and a quarter. This strip occupies the bottom half of the page. Top half is "Weight State".
