Notes: The same story was used for "I Fell in Love with a Mama's Boy!" in First Love Illustrated (Harvey, 1949 series) 4 (August 1949). The main characters' names are the same: Terry Neal (as opposed to Neil), Laura Crain, Dave Burnette. The Harvey story is longer and adds a subplot about Dave's domineering mother, but the basic plot and sequence of events is the same in both.

Terry "Neil" is spelled "Niel" on page 5.
