This was was a must have for me as it contained two characters I did not have examples of already (Miz Ma'm'selle Hepzibah and Mole MacCarony) and it contains a taste of Walt Kelly's political humor. Mole MacCarony is a caricature of Senator Pat McCarran who opposed Communism and immigration of non-Europeans in the 1950's. Kelly is famous for poking fun at political figures and this is a great example from early in the strip's run.
