The Blonde in Red cut short her camping vacation, because she somehow ended stuck up a paddle without a creek.
In a traditional teen story lesson against peer pressure, the Blonde in Red finds herself in a slippery slope of diminishing returns as the poolside fun of “Freckles and his Friends” turns into resentful river rivalries of “Boots and Her Buddies”.
C’mon, Jim! I dare you to shoot that skeleton ghost. What are ya? Yellow?
Oh, wait, they do have a paddle. And a rifle. The Blonde in Red obviously remembers her past Eerie experiences.

In this issue: Rip Carson, Tiger Girl, Hooks Devlin, Senorita Rio, Shark Brodie… “and others”?
