As for what's going on at the end of that middle one, it turns out we came in at a time when the Daily Worker had expanded its scope a bit, but they may have bit off a bit more than they could chew.



So in the evangelical tradition, they decided to pass the hat around. Vigorously. And as you can see, Depression-era Reds don't mince words.



Every columnist had a quota nested inside of the larger NYC goal, and being the new kid on the block, Lefty's corner of this newsprint GoFundMe campaign wasn't exactly lighting the world on fire just yet.




So, welcome to the pledge drive.

I warned you!

Can you imagine how loving anal you have to be to consider yourself being a “temptress” for kissing a guy, let alone to think that as you’re in college, studying psychology.

The only way this makes even an inkling of a sense is if she’s at one of those evangelical nutcase colleges but I doubt even the Evanses are that lame.

Credit where it’s due tho: even in her lameness, Bernice is characteristically arrogant.

Fun fact: HIPAA(including the Privacy Rule that covers what most people are talking about when they mention HIPAA) wasn't a thing until 1996(and the privacy rule wasn't fully in effect until 2003). The 70s Dear Abby that runs alongside these comics has the occassional letter mentioning people going a town or two over to see a doctor for embarassing or socially shameful stuff, and that's why - back in the day, there was nothing stopping your doctor from telling the town about your Butts Disease or anything related to, say, having sex out of wedlock other than their own sense of integrity.

This is a long way of saying that what's happening here was (legally) fine at the time, even if it wouldn't be now.
