Our boy really put the move on Dragon Gal and that took guts considering she likes to slice off male tongues,
so I consider Terry a cunninglinguist; until Caniff got the editorial elbow, and if there's now a no lead in the pencil
protagonist we can safely assume the kid could hold his own at the plate and play the field whence he had opportunity.

Burma would tear him to pieces and pick her teeth with the bones.
Of the three young men whose fortunes we follow in the comics pages, the only one I'm convinced is "a man of the world" at the present time is, gawdhelpus, Harold Teen. Skeezix may or may not have been intimate with Nina at this point, especially since their own haystack moment, but I'm not entirely convinced of it. Skeez has shown himself in general to be too much of a straight arrow to take any chances, much like Terry. But Harold was a naive small-town kid on his own in New York, with Senga across the hall, and well...

I agree, but the girls are also getting screwed as that estate is being calculatingly burned down on them. They should get a forensic accounting of that estate; in 1941 dollars, a big chunk of money disappear...
