Archie and Me #89
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Captain Capitulates," Mr. Weatherbee stumbles upon his old army captain's hat and, swept up in nostalgia, begins enforcing school rules with military precision—only to face a surprising twist when he discovers Miss Grundy once held a higher rank. Written by an unknown hand and illustrated with crisp, expressive energy by Chic Stone, this 1977 classic captures the usual small-town chaos of Riverdale with a delightfully absurd military flair. The cover by Chic Stone perfectly captures the moment of comedic shock as Weatherbee realizes he’s been out-ranked.
When Mr. Weatherbee stumbles upon his old army captain’s hat, he can’t resist turning the school into his personal drill ground—until he learns Miss Grundy once held the rank of major and officially outranks him.
In this brief 1977 humor gem from *Archie and Me* #89, Fred Andrews takes on a DIY electrical job with predictably disastrous results—his handyman skills are clearly better suited to small-town charm than circuitry. Meanwhile, Mr. Weatherbee conducts a hilariously awkward interview with a prospective teacher, proving once again that even the school principal has his limits when it comes to hiring.
In "The Mess-enger," Archie finds himself in hot water after dozing off in Mr. Weatherbee’s office chair. After a chilly trip to the shower to wake him up, he insists on making a phone call before facing punishment—setting off a chain of chaotic, comedic consequences.
