In "Socktical Illusion," Wilbur’s passion for photography takes a wild turn when he attempts to capture a nature scene for a contest—only to be chased by a bull, much to Red’s surprise and amusement.

Penciled and inked by Joe Edwards, this 1953 classic features a cover by Bill Vigoda, capturing the playful spirit of Archie’s early humor comics.
