Jackson decides to pattern himself after the TV character "The Continental." A liberal application of hair oil, his best suit, and a suave approach make him think he's going to be a Don Juan.

Indexer Notes

"The Continental" was a short-lived 1952 15-minute late-night CBS television series, in which a suave man spoke directly and romantically to the female audience.

Synopsis:
Katie has her sights on the new boy in school, Cal Mack, and uses a book "Winning Your Man" for advice. She goes undercover to find out his likes and dislikes and gets him to take her to to a "Girls Pay" dance. Unfortunately, rival Dolores finds the book after Katie drops it and tells everyone that Katie has to get her boy friends from a book. Cal figures he's been tricked, so breaks the date. Fortunately, Katie's grandmother is visiting. She just happens to be be friends with the head of a movie studio and gets him to get Katie a date to the dance with Rock Hudson.

Indexer Notes

Rock Hudson appears in the last two panels, with two words of dialogue. A very teen-slang-heavy story.
