In "Skiing Is Believing!", Scooter’s attempt to steal a little attention from the girls’ concern for Kenny’s broken leg takes a wild turn when a mix-up with X-rays convinces the doctors he’s gravely ill. Written by Doug Crane and brought to life with crisp, expressive art by Henry Scarpelli (pencils and inks), this 1968 gem from DC delivers a classic case of mistaken identity with a healthy dose of slapstick charm. The cover by Scarpelli perfectly captures the moment’s escalating panic.

In "Sympathy Pains!", Scooter’s attempt to get some attention from the girls by faking illness backfires when his X-rays get swapped with another boy’s, leading doctors to wrongly believe he’s gravely ill. The mix-up spirals into a series of hilarious misunderstandings as Scooter struggles to keep up the ruse while everyone treats him like a patient on his deathbed.
