Dik Browne channels Harry Haenigsen's teen bobbysoxer Penny for these 1950s comic strips!

From the publisher:

Contains all thirty of Dik Browne's Life That Way strips, filled with chatty teens, ignorant children, and opportunities that have been missed because someone has been tying up the party line. An excellent gift for those interest in classic telephony.

In the early 1950s, cartoonist Dik Browne, best known as the creator of Hagar the Horrible and as the original artist on Hi & Lois, drew Life's That Way…, a series of six-panel comic strips to be used in ads for local telephone companies. These stories focused on teaching proper phone etiquette, particularly for users of party lines, when several households shared a single phone line.
