In "Spring Fever," the news that Mr. Weatherbee is planning to retire sends ripples through Riverdale, prompting the students to shower him with unexpected kindness—only to accidentally insult him by treating him like a frail elder. Written and illustrated by Bob Bolling, with inks by Mario Acquaviva and letters by Bill Yoshida, this lighthearted story captures the kids' well-meaning but misguided efforts, all set against the backdrop of Miss Grundy’s nostalgic memories of Weatherbee’s athletic ancestors. The cover, by Stan Goldberg and Bob Smith, perfectly captures the comic’s playful tone.
