Suzie Comics #56

Suzie’s new job at the Ladies Fashion Boutique is supposed to help her afford a fancy bathing suit, but her well-meaning efforts only seem to confuse the customers—especially the portly customer and the elderly customer, both of whom have very different ideas about style. With the Store Manager watching closely, Suzie’s day at the shop turns into a series of awkward missteps that leave everyone more puzzled than ever.

Suzie keeps a close eye on Ferdie as he takes on a high-stakes gig guarding Mrs. Van Gelt’s society party, all while pretending to be a medieval knight. With the evening’s elegance hanging in the balance, Suzie’s sharp eyes and quick wit are the only things standing between Ferdie and total chaos.

Ferdie finds himself in a scrap over a suit, only to accidentally knock out the local boxing champ—now everyone’s convinced he’s a secret fighter. With the store manager and K.O. McSlugg quick to organize a rematch, Ferdie’s stuck in the ring with the champ, and Suzie’s watching from the crowd.
