Flipped! #1

In a quiet moment of unexpected initiative, Wilbur answers Mabel’s challenge by throwing a party centered around musical instruments—though his enthusiasm may be slightly misplaced. When Mabel questions why she isn’t joining in, the real question hangs in the air: what exactly does “doing something” mean to him?

In "Loan Date," Arnie’s attempt to impress his date Peggy takes a bizarre turn when he’s forced to borrow money from his sister Wendy—only to have her tag along to the scary movie. What starts as an awkward evening spirals into a prank gone hilariously wrong when Wendy disguises herself to scare them, sending Arnie and Peggy fleeing in panic. Now back home, Arnie’s hiding in the bathroom, muttering voodoo chants, utterly shaken.

In this brief, deadpan gem from *Flipped! #1*, Jo finds herself caught off guard when Barney, ever the corporate type, responds to her hesitation about his marriage proposal with a clipped, "I’ll need an answer by Monday—leave a message with my secretary." Written and drawn entirely by Rick Enright, the one-page gag captures a moment of absurdly mundane romantic tension, where the stakes feel as high as a midweek meeting.

In a delightfully absurd twist, Jo and Dugan’s quiet pool game takes a wild turn when Dugan’s sick cow shows up at the pool hall—right on the table. Rick Enright’s single-page gag in *Flipped! #1* delivers a perfectly timed punchline with a cow-shaped chaos that’s as unexpected as it is hilarious.

Jo’s not in the mood to play darts with Arnie, who grumbles about her lack of energy—until Mom walks in with a double-layer strawberry shortcake, and suddenly, the whole house feels a little lighter.
