“Sign Bored”

In "Sign Bored," Mr. Lodge’s rare compliment to Smithers about Archie quickly spirals into paranoia when he fears the teen might overhear his unexpected praise. Written by Harry Lucey and illustrated by Chic Stone, with colors by Barry Grossman and letters by Bill Yoshida, this 1972 classic captures the humor in adult insecurity. The cover by Dan DeCarlo and Rudy Lapick perfectly frames the moment with a touch of classic Archie charm.
