Archie #556
In "The Study Buddy," Archie tries to impress a girl organizing a clothing drive by going all out—only to accidentally donate some of the Lodge family’s finest formal wear. The mix-up makes headlines, turning Mr. Lodge into a laughingstock when the press claims he’s scavenging castoffs meant for the less fortunate. Written by Bill Golliher and brought to life with classic flair by Stan Goldberg (pencils) and Bob Smith (inks), this 2005 issue captures Archie’s trademark charm and misadventures in a story that’s equal parts humor and heart. The cover by Goldberg and Smith perfectly captures the moment’s awkward tension.
