The Cover
- Bobby Firstborn has come to visit his grandfolks, and they love him, and he’ll turn on his 100-watt smile for them when he is more conditioned to their looming faces. Accompanying Bobby is his furniture, a restaurant, and the face and legs of a papa. The rest of Bobby’s stuff is in the car, with room to spare, let us hope, for papa’s toothbrush. Well, during his visit the baby will be as good as gold, partly because he is good, partly because if he even knits his brow, grandma or grandpa will stage a variety show of odd grimaces and odder double talk. He’ll miss this vaudeville when he gets home and shriek for a while, for which his grandparents should be spanked. If Amos Sewell has mamma looking mighty proud of this whole deal, who’s got a better right to be?
