Archie and Me #143
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeFew comics can claim a getaway vehicle quite like this one — Dan DeCarlo's cover for Archie and Me #143 captures a gloriously absurd scene in which bank robbers are making their escape in a giant chicken-shaped car, while a police officer urgently points Archie in pursuit. Archie, behind the wheel of Mr. Weatherbee's pristine yellow convertible, looks understandably panicked about playing hero in borrowed wheels, as a "BLAM!" sends debris flying near the bank entrance. Promising "The Great Chicken Chase," this 1984 issue showcases the goofy, warm humor that made Archie Comics such reliable fun.

A talking owl narrates this story of wanting something "so bad you can taste it." Archie desperately wants the status symbol of a Wheezinblatt cassette player for his new car, but can't afford it. A scruffy-looking man on a motorcycle offers to sell him one for only $20. Archie buys it, but soon after he has it installed, he learns that Mr. Weatherbee's car was robbed and the thief got away with a Wheezinblatt player, just like the one Archie has. His sense of guilt and fear that the player might have been stolen starts to overwhelm him.
