Ricky #5
In "Watch My Smoke," Ricky’s attempt to make amends after knocking Mr. Bunch down the stairs takes a wild turn when he’s handed a box of cigars by Albie—only to discover they’re exploding. As Albie tries to smooth things over with a tin of pipe tobacco, Ricky’s quick thinking (and a dash of sawdust) throws a new wrinkle into the peace effort. Bill Williams handles both the interior art and cover, bringing his distinctive style to this 1953 comic, where a simple gesture spirals into a smoke-filled mishap.
