August 11, 1922 Harold Teen by Carl Ed: "One of Those Ultra-Modern Flappers"

[ID: A young flapper with short bobbed hair stands on the beach in full equestrian suit with knee-high boots and a belt cinched tight at the waist. She smokes from a wooden pipe, casually blowing smoke rings. /end]

[ID: Lillums and Harold sit side-by-side on the beach, gawking at the flapper. Lillums looks peeved, Harold confused. /end] Lillums: There's Peggy White. Ever since she returned from London, she's been sporting a pipe and knickers! Harold: Sweet daddy!

[ID: Lillums turns back to Harold and adjusts her bobbed hairdo. /end] Lillums: She's quite the centiped's goloshes, don't you think? Harold: She don't cause any commotion in my young life, but...

Harold: ...for all of that, she may still be a perfect GENTLEMAN! [ID: Lillums faints over backwards as Harold clutches his knees to his chest and laughs. /end]

1926: “This girl has all of [the] trends and she’s not loath to wear them at once: bell earrings, a dog collar worn as a necklace, a large beauty spot on her cheek, an ivory cigarette holder, a design to cover the vaccination mark on her arm, heavy bracelets, an anklet, a photo of a boyfriend on her stocking, an anklet watch, fancy garters worn below the knee and a mirror fastened to her wrist.”

August 5, 1922 Harold Teen by Carl Ed: "Anyway, Harold's Answer Was Plausible"

[ID: Harold walks up to the woman, gregariously tipping his hat. /end] Harold: Miss, may I suggest? Your HORSE! Flapper: ????

[ID: The flapper storms off, throwing her riding crop directly into Harold's eye. /end] Flapper: Fresh!
