“Waste Not Want Not”

In "Waste Not Want Not," Archie finds himself caught in a bewildering mix-up when strangers keep mistaking him for a man named Clarence—only to punch him for it. When a doppelgänger shows up claiming the same bench and insists Archie is Clarence, with a name even more outlandish than his own, the confusion deepens. Written by Frank Doyle and illustrated by Harry Lucey, with inks by Marty Epp and colors by Barry Grossman, this 1972 classic features a cover by Dan DeCarlo and Rudy Lapick, and leaves Archie questioning his own identity.

As Archie sits on a park bench, people keep mistaking him for someone named "Clarence" and belting him one. Then Archie meets a guy who looks exactly like him and says this is his bench... but this guy's name is "Perkin Warbeck," and he also calls Archie "Clarence." As the story ends, Archie is starting to think he might really be Clarence after all.
