Since
some of Dorothy Woolfolk's
Love
Diary
scripts (in #17-19) were noted in William Woolfolk's records
because he'd
supplied the plots, I was able to get a handle on her writing
style. I've mentioned that one of his pet expressions was
"Good glory"; one of
hers is "Oh, glory." She uses "Oh" in other expressions like "Oh,
golly" and
"Oh, (name). Dorothy does use "Good
glory" herself once or twice. These panels are from "Hardboiled Heart"
in #6.
These are the stories that I'm quite sure of at this point. There are
others I might add later when I get an even better handle on her style
(in other words, beyond those particular expressions); I have fifteen
more stories from #1-10 down with a question mark after her name. From
his records
we know that William had two stories in #8 and one in #10. There are
other writers on the comic; for instance, there's a run of the
Prescription for Happiness feature
all by the same writer.
UPDATE: I thought I might be retconning Dorothy (Roubicek) Woolfolk's name at this
point, but Jake Oster tells me she married William in September 1948.
