Cookie #26

In "Oil's Well That Ends Well!", Phyllis, a hometown girl from Starlet’s past, arrives in Hollywood chasing stardom, only to be offered a leading role—she declines, not for fame, but because it’s the same job she left behind as a soda jerk. Written by Owen Fitzgerald and illustrated by Owen Fitzgerald, this 1950 slice of comic life captures the quiet irony of ambition and the comfort of home, all in a 10-cent package.
