Archie #292

A money mystery gets solved in this 1980 installment of Archie's long-running series, with cover pencils by Dan DeCarlo showing the redheaded teen looking pleasantly surprised as his father — seated at a desk with papers in hand and his mother standing nearby — reveals he accidentally gave Archie two weeks' allowance. A blonde figure (likely Betty) lingers in the background, while a close-up of Archie's wide-eyed, grinning face delivers the punchline: "No wonder I was able to make ends meet!" It's a relatable slice of suburban comedy that captures everything warm and funny about Riverdale family life.
