In "Good Old Peepwhistle!", Herbie takes a nostalgic trip to his father’s alma mater, Peepwhistle Prep, where he’s determined to follow in his footsteps by joining the legendary Tappa Kegga Koke fraternity. Despite passing every bizarre initiation test, he’s still turned away—until the school’s dire financial straits lead to an unexpected opportunity. Written by Richard Hughes and brought to life with sharp, expressive art by Ogden Whitney (who also inked the cover), this 1965 gem captures Herbie’s mix of earnestness and humor as he stumbles into a scheme that could save the school—no matter how unlikely. The cover, also by Whitney, perfectly captures the story’s lighthearted charm.
