Penciled by Al Hartley, this 1971 classic captures the usual chaos of Riverdale with a splash of accidental slapstick, all under a cover by the same artist.
In "The Vandal Scandal," Archie takes a stand when Riverdale High is defaced, delivering a heartfelt class speech that calls out the damage and highlights how the cost of repairs will fall on their parents’ shoulders. The story captures the quiet tension of teenage responsibility, with Archie’s earnest words sparking reflection among his peers.
In "A Lotion Notion," Mr. Weatherbee trades the school office for the beach, hoping to catch some sun—only to collide with Archie, who offers to help with the lotion. A moment of distraction leads to a hilarious mix-up, leaving the principal streaked in an unexpected shade of green.
In "Run Fun," Archie and Jughead sprint down the hall to escape Mr. Weatherbee, only to find the strict teacher unexpectedly joining their dash—turning a chase into an unlikely race.
When Mr. Weatherbee dozes off in an air chair on the beach, the incoming tide floats it out to sea, leaving Archie to row out and rescue him—before the principal wakes up to find himself in the middle of the ocean.
