“I believed you were going to visit your Aunt Louise!”
“Please Ray…give me a chance to explain…
…You see, Aunt Louise wants to get at least one lap dance before she dies…”

…I have a rare condition. If I’m not stared at by a room full of sweaty drunks at least two shows a night, my spleen explodes! And you wouldn’t want my spleen to explode, would you?”

…You see, at least one of us has to have a job…”

…I was bitten by a radioactive pole dancer in high school. And now I use the superpowers I acquired to fight crime as Bouncing Betty! I strip for Justice!”

…Your brother thinks strippers are hot. And you know how hard I’ve been working to get him to sleep with me.”

…You know that episode of the Brady Bunch where the kids wanted to get their parents a plaque for their wedding anniversary? And Jan misheard the price and the kids didn’t have enough money. So the Brady kids go on a talent show to raise the money but ended up only getting second place, but it all turned out alright because their Mom and Dad saw the program and bought the plaque anyway. Well, I was watching that episode and suddenly thought, “Hey! I should become a stripper!” And here we are!”

…I’m a woman with needs Ray! And my needs are to have strange men stuff dollar bills into my G-string! It’s who I am Ray! And if you love me, truly love me, you’ll love my dollar-filled G-string too!”
Brilliant. Several of these made me LOL for real, Jams. But here’s the important thing. Bouncing Betty needs her own series!!!
Gotta say she looks more like a (before spandex) magicians assistant than a stripper. The room of sweaty drunks is the same.
True. On the other hand, this fairly sexy for a Comics Code approved romance comic in 1964!
“I’m filling in for Mom while she’s down with a cold.”
Well, someone had to do it. And no one else in the family was available. (Dad just doesn’t fit into that costume anymore.)
Ray I’m sorry I took your favorite outfit, I didn’t think you’d need it till your Saturday night performance.
AND every other Thursday! And you know that!!
