I found a utube of Spy vs Spy but it's kind of hard to see . My long term memory is better than my short term memory. That is part of getting old.

Ah, yes. I remember this particular scene that's showing now. That jogged my memory in a hurry.

My dad would like to plot of ways to get back at people that tried to screw him over. He got a fake bill that you folded in half and the other half said
"I got you sucker!" And he put it in back pocket so people could see the part that looked like real money. So he got a kick out of the two spies trying to outsmart one another. My dad mind worked like a mousetrap, and I loved it.

Sounds like your dad had a good sense of humor, and good at outwitting people at the same time. That fake bill trick I shall have to try someday.

My dad had a great poker face so it was very hard to know when he was telling a tall tale or a true story about himself. He once told a baby sitter she needed to use more 'elbow grease' when cleaning up. The poor girl went to the store to buy a jar of ''elbow grease' and came back and told my dad they did not have any 'elbow grease' . LOL!!

That's funny. That kind of witty humor I'd love to have someday. Ah, well. Still time to get that. I am, after all, only 30.
 
He's only dying in the 'Life With Archie' storyline, where they're adults.

He'll live forever anyway, I used to buy the digests by the ton (great summer reading at the cottage!) and half of them were recycled strips from the 70s and 80s, very obvious by the clothing and cars and hairstyles!
