When he tries to snap a picture of a nighttime animal with a trip wire, the prank backfires spectacularly—Mr. Weatherbee ends up in the lake, tangled in the wire and still in his pajamas. Written and drawn by Joe Edwards, with inks and letters by Jon D'Agostino, this 1967 comic captures classic Archie charm in a lighthearted, photo-driven gag strip.
In "Campers' Capers," Archie recounts a chaotic night at camp while showing off photos from his time as a counselor. When he sets up a trip wire to catch a photo of a nighttime animal, the prank backfires spectacularly—Mr. Weatherbee ends up in the lake, tangled in the wire and wearing nothing but his pajamas.
In "When the Boone Comes Over the Mountain...", Mr. Weatherbee spins a tall tale about Daniel Boone lost in the Haunted Cave, only to vanish himself—reappearing on the other side of the state, much to the campers' astonishment. The story's blend of humor and myth keeps the group captivated, turning a simple campfire moment into something unforgettable.
