Indexer Notes
Due to having to print the Statement of Ownership, Management and Circulation in this issue, the gag bag story only contains one gag strip instead of the usual two. This particular strip appears to be from the 1950s.

- Betty and Veronica are discussing classifications ("rich and poor", etc.). Betty mentions that there are only two kinds - rich and poor. Veronica disagrees, saying that there are others - fat and thin, boy and girl, short and tall... - but they're all insignificant (even "rich and poor"). The only kinds in her mind are leaders and followers - Lodges ("and a few other special families") are leaders, and the rest are followers.
