In "Clownin' Around," Mr. Weatherbee takes an unexpected turn, running against the mayor after budget cuts threaten Riverdale High—only to find himself in a surprising political alliance.

Written and drawn by Joe Edwards, with inks by Chic Stone, colors by Barry Grossman, and letters by Bill Yoshida, this Double Digest tale blends school life with small-town politics, all wrapped in a cover by Jeff Shultz and Bob Smith.
