“Messenger Service”

In "Messenger Service," Archie #177 (1967), Mr. Lodge and Smithers revel in the quiet of Archie’s absence—only to spiral into frantic anxiety over the possibility he might come back at any moment. Written by Frank Doyle and illustrated by Harry Lucey with inks by Mario Acquaviva, the issue captures the classic humor of small-town chaos, all capped off with a delightfully exaggerated cover by Dan DeCarlo and Rudy Lapick.
