Candy #59
The main story follows Candy as she becomes broke and must find ways to earn money. When her mother mentions an upcoming allowance, Candy is inspired to knit a blue sweater as a gift for her boyfriend Ted, hoping to impress him. However, the homemade sweater turns out poorly—it shrinks dramatically in the wash—leading to comedic results when Ted receives the ill-fitting garment. The issue also includes a secondary story involving Candy helping some sailors with a leaky boat and a barrel of valuable china, which leads to a series of misadventures with bumbling characters fighting over the goods.
