Archie #261
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Clubs Are Trumps," Veronica’s icy prank turns the Lodge family’s indoor pool into a skating rink, setting off a hilarious chain of events when Mr. Lodge attempts a dramatic dive—unaware he’s about to make a splash on ice. Written by Tom DeFalco and brought to life with classic flair by Chic Stone, Jon D'Agostino, Barry Grossman, and Bill Yoshida, this 1977 gem captures the charm and chaos of Riverdale with a winter twist. The cover by Dan DeCarlo and Rudy Lapick perfectly captures the scene’s playful tension.
When Veronica freezes the Lodges’ indoor pool so Archie and Jughead can skate, Mr. Lodge’s impromptu dive into the icy surface leads to a splashy, comedic mishap—just as the ice proves a little too solid for a surprise swim.
