Here's the strip I stumbled across in
Boyfriend, drawn by Bill Lacey who is far better know for his work in boys' comics -- various strips for
Super Detective Library,
Lion,
Valiant,
Look and Learn,
TV Comic,
Battle,
Bullet,
Crunch,
Buddy, etc.
I was a thinking this was a bit of a scoop but I mentioned it to David Roach who tells me that he was a regular during the early days of
Boyfriend. Darn... thought I was onto something. I'll just have to hope that tomorrow's 'Comic Firsts' column is the scoop I think it is!

(* I had to photograph this so it's not up to the usual standard. 'Ramshackle Romance' appeared in
Boyfriend no. 6 (20 June 1959) and is © IPC Media.)
Photographed or not, it still looks good enough to eat. Marvelous. Thank you very much.
