#Bedelia Glutenschnable

[jhsharman]

"patch as patch can" "patch me if you can"

Streamlining the explanation in the second panel. Not sure why the need to add a stutter for the first panel.

Bedelia Glutenschnable gets replaced by Ophelia Glutenschnable, a more permanent character.

The shortening for Ophelia's skirt is an odd choice, given that she is taken to have negative physical appeal and is comically out of fashion.

"Gee Whiz" slides away in favor of "Golly". And Veronica's skirt gets cut off barely above the panel border. On the expression "that's real George", an expression I am unfamiliar with but a quick look see shows it was a popular expression amongst early 50s youth which originated from Jerry Lester in the late night variety tv show 'Broadway Open House'. For what it is worth, the 1952 panel has Veronica saying simply "That's George".

Reggie Mantel.

Betty's skirt is kept long. And we note differences in the styles of the background students 1952 vs. 1960 -- noting the girl in the middle.

A glitch gives Betty a green sweater for a panel. Ad the best laid plans etc. And everyone comes out unhappy here. Except, I guess, Glutenschnable.

Different expressions from the two Glutenschnables.

"Shake your ankles, Archie. I ain't had so much fun since Granny caught her nose in the meat chopper". Vs. "Let's go Archie. I ain't had so much fun since Aunt Danny caught her nose in the clothes wringer". Unfortunately, the Ophelia Glutenschnable title was cancelled before that story.
