Mopsy #12

When spring fever strikes, Mopsy sets her sights on a shiny new convertible, but her wallet has other ideas. What follows is a hilarious chase through fashion shopping, investment schemes, and the racetrack as she tries every shortcut she can think of to turn twenty dollars into the down payment of her dreams. Created by Gladys Parker, this five-page romp captures the spirit of the season—and the lengths one girl will go to get what she wants.

Jo, the perpetually unimpressed newsstand owner, watches in disbelief as even the most dramatic headlines fail to draw a single customer. But when she swaps the daily paper for superhero comic books, the street suddenly fills with eager readers—proof that sometimes, the real story is the one you make up.
