Archie and Me #83

The Faculty Glee Club is in session — and apparently in need of a plumber — in this cheerful 1976 entry in the long-running Archie and Me series. The cover, penciled by Dan DeCarlo Jr. and inked by Jim DeCarlo, captures a perfectly timed scene: a singing Mr. Weatherbee belts out musical notes while Archie grins nearby, an Ajax Plumbing worker crouches over his toolbox in the foreground, and a blonde student looks on as someone asks, "Can you fix Mr. Weatherbee's pipes, too?" It's the kind of warm, comedic slice of Riverdale life — plumbing mishaps, faculty enthusiasm, and teen amusement all colliding at once — that made this series such a reliable delight.
