The more things change, the more they stay the same...
...as this tale of 21st Century teen-agers from 1953 proves!
I'm positive writer/penciler Dan DeCarlo re-used this concept for an Archie story using Dilton Dooley as the creator of the aging/de-aging device!
I know I've seen a story with younger versions of Principal Weatherbee and Miss Grundy almost becoming a couple, before reverting to their present-day older selves.
Anybody know what my failing memory vaguely recalls?
It's a shame this was from the final issue of Standard's Jetta of the 21st Century (#7 in 1953).
(Despite that issue number, there were only three issues, #s 5 to 7!)
Guess the concept was too "far out" for early 1950s readers!
BTW, we'd like to extend our thanks to the amazing
Kracalactaka, heroic and voluminous contributor to both the
Digital Comic Museum and
ComicBookPlus, for these
Jetta scans and the previous ones in the series!
It's people like him who assure that comic book art will be appreciated for generations to come!
