☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Retirement Blues," Archie takes it upon himself to relieve his father of household chores, thinking a little rest is just what he needs. But when Archie’s well-intentioned efforts lead to chaos around the house, it’s clear that even the most helpful son can’t quite keep up with Dad’s old habits. Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life by Harry Lucey’s expressive art, with Chic Stone’s inks, Barry Grossman’s colors, and Bill Yoshida’s crisp lettering, this 1976 classic captures the everyday humor of Riverdale life—complete with Dan DeCarlo’s iconic cover.
In "Retirement Blues," Archie takes it upon himself to ease his father’s workload by stepping in to handle the household chores—only to discover that keeping the house running isn’t quite as simple as it looks. With his usual mix of enthusiasm and misjudgment, Archie learns the hard way that some jobs aren’t so easy to master.
