In "Fish or Cut Bait," Veronica’s unexpected response to Reggie’s boastful claim about never breaking a date sets off a quiet but clever game of wits. Written by Frank Doyle and illustrated with signature flair by Dan DeCarlo, this 1977 classic showcases the dynamic between two longtime rivals, with color by Barry Grossman and a cover by Dan DeCarlo that captures the moment’s playful tension.
