Little Eva #29
Little Eva #29 The issue contains two stories featuring Little Eva. In the first story, Eva writes "Eva Loves Nipper" on various surfaces around town, causing mischief. When confronted by an angry boy whose name she has dragged through the mud, she offers to help restore his reputation, but her efforts backfire when she crosses out her writing, making things worse. The situation escalates until two men offer the children money and dolls to end the conflict peacefully. The second story, "Bubble-Gum Blowout," follows Eva as she learns about Mr. Pepper's bubble-gum blowing contest with a prize for the biggest bubble. Eva practices with ten pieces of gum and decides to enter the contest herself, hoping to win the prize and become rich like her good-looking friend rather than remaining poor.
