And if not for his last name of "Goldberg," the colorist's depiction of Shirley's Army beau almost made me think that he was black, and that THAT was the reason why Shirley had to see him on the sly, without letting her parents know.

I'm actually kind of disappointed that this is not the case, because for as much as she gets stereotyped as a frail, worrying old biddy now, I like the idea that, even as a young woman back in the day, May was progressive enough not to care about stuff like that. :)
