Søren Spætte #9/1984
In "Hvad borgen gemte," Oswald takes Floyd and Lloyd on a countryside outing to teach them the joys of simple pleasures—picnics, fishing, and quiet time—only to find that even a low-key day out comes with a surprisingly high price tag. Written by John Stanley and illustrated by Lloyd White, this 1984 Interpresse issue captures a gentle, wry moment in the boys' lives, with the cover by Lloyd White adding a touch of whimsy to the scene.

After Floyd and Lloyd ask for and receive an advance on their allowance for ice-cream sodas, and ask for another advance in order to see a movie, Oswald resolves to teach the boys how to "enjoy life without spending a lot of money". He takes them on a drive in the country, for a peaceful picnic and fishing day, which ends up costing him far more than ice-cream sodas and a movie.
