Archie and Me #99
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Wave Length," Archie finds himself frustrated when Mr. Weatherbee reveals that the two dollars he contributed to the class ski trip was actually for insurance, not lunch as he’d assumed. Written and illustrated by Dick Malmgren, with inks by Rudy Lapick and letters by Bill Yoshida, this 1978 issue captures a classic Archie moment with quiet humor and familiar schoolyard tension. The cover by Dick Malmgren perfectly frames the mood of a young teen caught between expectations and disappointment.
In "Wave Length," Mr. Weatherbee grows frustrated when students seem to ignore him—until Miss Grundy suggests he try being friendlier. Soon, every student passing his office waves, making him think his new approach is a success. But the truth is simpler—and far more mischievous—than he realizes.
Archie fumes when Mr. Weatherbee explains that the two dollars he handed over for the class ski trip was actually for insurance, not lunch as he’d assumed. Now stuck with a refund and a growing sense of injustice, Archie’s frustration sets off a chain of misadventures that test his patience—and his wallet.
