“The Advantage of a College Education”

In "The Advantage of a College Education," Sam finds himself navigating the nostalgic world of classic American comic strips, stepping into the panels of beloved, long-running characters and settings. Written by Mort Walker and Jerry Dumas, with art and inks by Jerry Dumas, the story blends meta-humor and homage in a way that celebrates the legacy of the medium—especially for longtime fans of the form. The cover, by Charles Dana Gibson, captures the whimsical tone with a striking, period-accurate design.
