Suzie Comics #85
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Throne For A Loss!", Ferdie’s latest visit to Suzie—now working as a nursing attendant at the local hospital—takes a wild turn when he dozes off and plunges into a surreal dream where Uncle Blunderbuss becomes his surgeon. With Samm Schwartz handling art, inks, and lettering, this 1952 Archie Comics gem blends whimsy and absurdity in a tale that’s as much a playful jab at tall tales as it is a showcase of Schwartz’s distinctive style, all captured in his own cover pencils.
Suzie enlists Ferdie to babysit Angela while she races in a roller skating contest with Gregory, but Angela has other plans—she convinces Ferdie to join her in the competition instead. With roller skates and a wild idea, the pair set off on a whirlwind adventure neither expected.
Suzie’s father is on vacation with a strict plan: do absolutely nothing. But when he leaves the house, all the chores suddenly fall to Suzie—cleaning, cooking, and everything in between. With her dad’s "relaxation" turning into full-blown neglect, Suzie’s stuck managing the whole house while he enjoys his break.
Ferdie seeks refuge from Uncle Blunderbuss’s wild stories by visiting Suzie at her new job as a nursing attendant, only to drift off into a dream where the old man’s exaggerated tales take a surreal turn—this time with Ferdie as the patient and Uncle Blunderbuss as the operating surgeon.
