TOM IN THE MIDDLE

by Berthe Amoss ‧ RELEASE DATE: March 13, 1968

Being in the middle means being pestered by little brother John and being put down by big brother Mark; being in the middle means it might be better to be a recluse until night comes. . . ""And when night comes. . . when night comes"" the place to be is inside under a tent next to John (being sleeping Indians) with Mark standing watch. Youngsters will recognize little John as a nuisance and big Mark as a model (and the night as a menace) but whether they'll be reconciled to their in-between role as a result is dubious--the solution is somewhat less substantial than the situations which precede it. Nice fresh dialogue and drawings, though.
