Archie #247
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Money Angle," Archie tries to convince his parents that economic downturns can be overcome by spending more—only to be met with skepticism, especially from Mr. Andrews, who sees the real motive behind the argument: a bigger allowance. Veronica, ever the realist with a flair for drama, chimes in with her own take: the American way is to spend freely, no matter the times, as long as someone else is footing the bill. Written by Frank Doyle and illustrated by Harry Lucey, with Chic Stone’s inks, Barry Grossman’s colors, and Bill Yoshida’s lettering, this 1975 classic features Dan DeCarlo’s iconic cover art and Rudy Lapick’s inks.
In "The Money Angle," Archie tries to impress his parents with a surprisingly sharp take on the recession, arguing that economic recovery starts with spending more—not less. His pitch, however, is quickly dismissed as just another excuse for a bigger allowance, while Veronica offers her own take: why worry about recessions when you can just spend freely and let Daddy foot the bill?
