Was this based on the real life daughter? Admittedly, finding a boyfriend must have been hard. She needed to be on the lookout for hanger-ons and parasites who were feeding her ego while trying to get their hands in Lynn Johnston’s deep pockets.
SPOILER: The description in this book is exactly duplicated by Elizabeth and another guy in their future, except that guy never tells Elizabeth he loves her. It’s funny she raspberries it now.

And whose name does her “raspberries” in the final panel almost spell?

There is a difference in romance and pure mush.

Panel 4: It seems she knows the name of the creep who’s been lurking in shadows at school, watching her every move..

Liz, stick to comics if you want some fun.

She might be thinking of Mike and Rhetta in that scenario.

A magazine of romance short stories? I didn’t know they still made those when this strip was published.

Yeah, all that nonsense takes a while to adjust to. Just jump into the pool and snog between dunkings.

Liz has outgrown the pre-teen romance novels…

Glad to see Liz isn’t getting sucked into the whole romance novel drivel.

I hear ya, girlfriend. After a particularly nasty breakup, I chucked all my romance novels and started reading mysteries and thrillers.

Indeed, that’s very purple prose.

I can remember reading that kind of magazine when I was Liz’s age. My favorite was “True Story” magazine. I believed every word, too.

Well that is a pretty yucky scenario all right.

She’s a smart girl with a bit of a grasp on reality. It’ll serve her well.

There’s a reason that’s called fiction.
