Archie Comics #30

Archie tries to perfect his swing inside Mr. Lodge’s house, using a cotton ball for practice—until Reggie swaps it with a real golf ball just as Mr. Lodge steps up to take a shot.

In this lighthearted Archie Comics tale, Wilbur’s leap year dance date with Linda stirs up jealousy in Laurie, while Slats panics at the thought of Hortense showing up—only to later confess he’s been pining for Laurie all along. When Linda casually asks Slats about a friend’s dance plans, he jumps at the chance to ask her out, not realizing he’s been misinformed. The real twist unfolds only on the night of the dance, when Slats finally learns the truth.
