Lonely Hearts Ep. 10: The Tomboy Mystique

What is the tomboy's allure? Bass, Marty, Furn and Siskoid dissect the phenomenon and digress a HECK of a lot, with some support from Romance Comics Theatre, "That Strange Girl" from DC's Young Romance #197 (Jan-Feb 1974). Plus, we open the male bag and read your comments!
