That Wilkin Boy #32
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Girl Power," Bingo’s world tilts when he realizes even his parents are embracing gender equality—prompting him to launch a passionate (and hilariously misguided) campaign about male superiority, only to be quickly reminded that his own girlfriend might just outmuscle him. Written by Dick Malmgren and brought to life with Dan DeCarlo’s signature style, Rudy Lapick’s inks, Barry Grossman’s colors, and Bill Yoshida’s lettering, this 1975 Archie classic captures a playful, lighthearted clash of old-school attitudes. The cover by Stan Goldberg and Jon D'Agostino perfectly captures the comic’s cheeky tone.
Bingo Wilkin, fed up with Samantha Smythe’s freakish strength, vows to ditch her for a girl who “wobbles and jiggles like real soft girls do.” Determined to win him back, Samantha hatches a plan to convince Bingo she’s now the epitome of delicate femininity—though her usual strength might be harder to hide than she thought.
In "The Hero Game," Tough Teddy takes center stage, showing off for Samantha Smythe by proving he’s the toughest kid around—especially when it comes to outdoing Bingo Wilkin. But when a cat gets stuck in a tree, Teddy’s chance to shine becomes Rebel’s opportunity to flip the script.
Bingo Wilkin’s world tilts when he discovers his parents now believe in gender equality—so he launches a passionate campaign to prove men are superior, citing strength as their undeniable edge. But his confidence wobbles fast when Samantha Smythe casually reminds him just how wrong he is, leaving him flustered and questioning his whole argument.
In "Now or Never," Bingo Wilkin and Tough Teddy face off in a battle of wits—well, mostly just slang—while Mr. Wilkin frets that their constant teen talk will erase proper English. Samantha Smythe steps in with a quiet moment that proves even the most exaggerated speech can still carry real meaning.
