Archie and Me #155

A fuming principal has clearly had enough of Archie's shenanigans in this February 1986 issue — the cover by Dan DeCarlo shows a red-faced authority figure leaning across his desk to declare that detention is "too good" for the wide-eyed redhead standing before him, while through the window a very medieval-looking set of stocks waits ominously in the schoolyard, watched over by a uniformed officer. It's a wonderfully funny snapshot of Archie at his most in-trouble, capturing the warm, expressive humor that made this series such a reliable delight.
