In "Shopping Spree," Lucy’s well-meaning plan to get Ricky and his band to a charity bazaar takes a comically misguided turn when she draws a map to guide them from a last-minute TV appearance—only to realize too late that the directions might not be quite as clear as she thought. With Hy Rosen handling both art and inks, this 1954 Four Color #559 delivers a charming, fast-paced slice of mid-century humor, all in crisp, expressive detail.
