While attending a comic convention, Veronica is critical of Chuck's admiration of cartoonists. Later Chuck and Veronica each recruit a pair of artists for a TV game show called "Spin, Lose, or Draw!", with Chuck picking up Stan Goldberg and Dan DeCarlo. Chuck's Archie cartoonists easily defeat Veronica's French Fine Artists in the rebus-like contest.
