Yeah, this is what always makes romance comics messed up. The story arcs are always short and they're often filled with not so subtle messages like 'For CHRISTS' SAKE marry someone with cash and prestige" or "Don't go out and party with the reefers" or "There are NO such things as LESBIANS! these are just girls that hadn't met the right boyfriend"
I can pretty much go on and on.
But yeah, this would certainly give the wrong message to those tweenage girls of the time. Bad enough putting a good light on a vacant girl that hardly did anything else but gawp like a fish and mope and cringe (girls: This is NOT sexy). But putting in the message that it will all come to together in the end like that? Bleh.
Still, it sure reminds me of a murderess that has pretty much lost touch of reality. Can't remember what her name is, but it's a true case of a 'widow maker'--she marries, gets through a couple or so years, and then kills them with arsenic. (by putting fly paper on the raw meat or something?) Anyways, she did it because she found the married life not what she had wanted, so it was a way to start all over again.
I was shocked to find that not only was her maturity level down to that of a mischievous 12 year old, but she also STILL reads the ROMANCE COMICS even up to the age of FIFTY when she was finally caught! Says much, nay?
