Gidget Page #8

Oh...

Hey, don't tell me

that Gidget's jealous.

Who, me?

I never heard anything

so ridiculous...

Oh, just a passing impression.

Oh.

Oh...

Hey, baby, you really are sick.

No, I just feel like

I've been hit on the back of

the head with a sledgehammer.

Moondoggie...

Moondoggie...

There, there, dear.

It's just the fever.

Doctor said it was

too much sun and water.

Just a touch of tonsillitis,

but you'll be all right.

No, Mommy, no, it...

it's something else.

Darling, what is it?

You kept saying Moondoggie.

Well, that's it. He's the one.

Oh, Mom. It's all true,

just like you said about...

about a person knowing

when it happens.

Mom, but what does

a person do about it?

Do?

Darling, according to Dr. West,

you won't be doing anything

away from this room

for at least a couple of weeks.

Oh, a couple of weeks.

Besides, one of the advantages

of being a young lady is

is it's not up to you.

It's up to the young man.

There, now, try

and get some sleep, huh?

Don't worry.

Yeah, but what if the young man

doesn't know you're alive?

The young lady be darned.

I've got to figure out

a plan of attack.

I mean, it's...

it's perfectly obvious

that you get a man

through his own interests.

Put one foot a few

inches ahead of the other,

near the center of the board.

Yeah?

Stop forward or back to meet the

changing pitch of the wave.

Oh, boy, when I think of

all the hours I spent

cramming on math and biology...

No, I'm to blame.

That time I congratulated you

for getting straight A's?

What a friend.

You know, I... I should've

belted you one, right then.

No, no, no, it's my fault.

I should have worked at being

an "A" student in both,

but don't worry,

I've never flunked out

on a subject yet,

and by the time I shake

this crummy tonsillitis,

I'm going to be the best

female surfer in California!

Oh! What's happening?

She just got thrown under

by a 30-foot wave!

Hi.

Hi. Not bad for a beginner.

Were you really sick, or did you go

hire yourself a coach somewhere?

No, not a coach,

just some books.

Some books?

Oh, I boned up on a few

basic principles...

You can learn anything

from books, you know.

Now make a wish

and blow.

A wish, uh...

Okay...

Oh, I did it!

Oh, golly, it's beautiful.

Uh, where's...

where's all your friends

from the beach,

and... and where's B.L.?

Oh, well, B.L.

would've broken her date,

and, well, as for the crew...

I... I guess I'll get

them here sometime.

I mean, you know what Saturday

night means to most fellows.

Well, uh...

I know what it means

in the Lawrence house.

Duet time, eh, Francie-girl?

Moondoggie! Hey, wait...

Put her down, boys.

Set her right down.
