What’s going on here? Well…
Here’s a quick summary of the original romance story (and, no, I’m not making this up.)
Mike resigned because his supervisor Doris (the woman on the phone—who also happens to be his girlfriend) was just about to fire him.
Confused and angry, he quits. Doris wanted to fire him because Mike’s no good at his job and therefore miserable.
After Mike leaves, Doris calls and gets him a construction job—with his uncle’s firm. He thrives at the new job. So he goes back to Doris; spanks her for interfering; and they decide to get married—pronto!

Love’s easy when things are perfect.
But what happens when fate trips you up? And kicks you (metaphorically) in the groin?
Do you stick around for better or worse? Or do you take off for greener pastures and studlier studs?
That’s the problem facing Jan in this 1961 story from First Kiss #19. (Click on images to enlarge.)
This first appeared in First Kiss #19, 1961. Art by Charles Nicholas and Sal Trapani. It was probably written by Joe Gill.
