“The Scams of Spring”
In "The Scams of Spring," Mr. Lodge frets over protecting his valuable bearer bonds during transport, prompting Archie to suggest a surprising solution—dressing more casually to avoid attention. With Stan Goldberg’s familiar art and Henry Scarpelli’s crisp inks bringing the antics to life, this 1996 classic blends small-town humor with a touch of high-stakes worry.
