SSS was always my favorite of the EC comics and this story was a reason why--and a reason I never dismissed Jack Kamen. His sweet, attractive, clean-cut style is PERFECT for a story like this. I think of his stories like this as being a precursor to David Lynch a la BLUE VELVET--the safe suburban environment with something rotten underneath. You would never get the same effect with, say, Ingels, who was unable to underplay(except that one IMPACT story about the girl with the lemonade, which I like).
