Indexer Notes

The ending of this story, where Mrs. Cooper says that Betty's aggressive behavior will give her "a lot more fun than I ever had," has been changed in recent digest reprints. In the '90s, the final balloon was re-lettered to read "that kind of behavior landed me a husband!" Another reprint, in the '00s, not only changed the final line but re-drew Mr. Cooper to remove the pipe he smokes in the final panel.
