That Wilkin Boy #28
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Merely Magnificent," Rebel the dog proves his worth in a surprising way when Mr. Smythe’s usual skepticism is put to the test—though the real surprise comes not from the dog’s bravery, but from a clever trick involving whipped cream. Written by Dick Malmgren and brought to life with vibrant energy by Stan Goldberg’s art, this 1974 Archie classic features dynamic inks by Jon D'Agostino, lively colors by Barry Grossman, and crisp lettering by Bill Yoshida, with a cover by Stan Goldberg and Henry Scarpelli.
In "Mad, Mad World," Rebel, the dog Mr. Smythe dismisses as a joke, proves his worth when a pair of muggers threaten him and Bingo—using nothing but quick thinking and a well-placed dollop of whipped cream to turn the tide.
In "Blossom Time," Mr. Smythe learns the hard way that a little romantic gesture can go a long way—especially when his wife isn’t amused by his dismissal of flowers. Trying to make up for his earlier scoffing, he sets out on a thriftier quest to win her back, one budget-friendly bloom at a time.
