Swing With Scooter #33

Swing With Scooter #33 (On Sale: February 4, 1971), has a cover by Stan Goldberg and Henry Scarpelli.

We begin with Scooter in "Temporary Manners" drawn by Artie Saaf and Henry Scarpelli. The boys try to brush up on their manners to impress their pretty new teacher.

Next, we have Scooter in "Trips Can Be Too Cool" inked by Henry Scarpelli. Scooter and Sylvester are sent back to the time of King Arthur, where they help the early development of steam power, baseball, and miniskirts.

We have yet another Scooter tale,  "All for the Love of Miss Throbb" inked by Henry Scarpelli. The boys stage a publicity stunt to sell tickets to the school play.

Next is "David Cassidy and the Girls He Loves!" written by Barbara Friedlander. This text feature is on the Partridge Family singer, but due to a production mishap, the article is accompanied by a photo of Barry Williams from the Brady Bunch.

That is followed by Malibu in "Midnight Snack" drawn by Henri Scarpelli. Malibu feeds bats in the park instead of birds.

Next, it is back to Scooter in "Not a Very Safe Place to Be" by John Albano, Stan Goldberg, and Henry Scarpelli. Accidents are constantly happening to Mr. Otis when Scooter is around. Reprinted in Best of DC #70 (1986).

Next, we have Penny and Cookie in "Tale of a Pussycat" drawn by Stan Goldberg and Henry Scarpelli. Apparently, Penny's cat has magical powers, as a witch is trying to get it back.

That is followed by Sylvester in "The Plenty Potent Potion" by John Albano, Stan Goldberg, and Henry Scarpelli. Malibu gives Sylvester a magic potion to make him irresistible to girls. Reprinted in Best of DC #70 (1986). 

We end with Penny and Cookie in "True Love" inked by Henry Scarpelli. Why did that boy steal Penny's hat?
