Schmidty goes back to Florida and throws in a dose of COVID-19 in this story of how President Trump prescribed bleach to an unsuspecting populace.

Schmidty lightens things up a bit and in honour of April fools, takes us back in the Timey-Winey machine to the roaring '20's in this story of the King of Conmen, Victor Lustig (or at least that was one of his names), a man who made fooling people an art form.
