Archie and Me #7

In "The Image," Mr. Weatherbee attempts a drastic image overhaul, trying to win his students' approval by acting unusually kind—whistling at Veronica in short shorts and praising even the smallest gestures. But his efforts backfire spectacularly, leaving Archie and Reggie quick to exploit his new persona while the rest of the class recoils in disbelief.

In this 1966 humor tale from *Archie and Me* #7, Mr. Weatherbee, reminiscing about his college football days, decides to turn Archie into Riverdale High’s next gridiron star—only to discover that reliving his youth isn’t quite as smooth as he remembers. The results are less inspiring and more exhausting, as Archie finds himself pushed far beyond his limits in the name of a coach’s nostalgia.
