“Bus Boy”

The cover of Archie #495 says it all — Archie strides forward proudly with a full set of bagpipes while his mother gasps at the "good news" that he's giving up the guitar, only for the punchline to hang in the air: "Yes, but the bad news is…" Stan Goldberg's pencils and Henry Scarpelli's inks bring the gag to life with warm, expressive charm, capturing Mr. and Mrs. Andrews' perfectly timed reactions. It's a fun snapshot of the lovably well-meaning redhead from Riverdale at his chaotic best.
