Archie Comics Digest #170

The cover of Archie Digest Magazine #170 sets up a perfectly cozy domestic comedy: Archie and a blonde girl are snuggled together on the sofa under a blanket, trading knowing smiles, while Archie cheerfully explains that "someone" turned off the thermostat — the thermostat-adjuster in question being a robed, disapproving adult man caught red-handed in the background with a satisfying click. Stan Goldberg's pencils and Jon D'Agostino's inks give the scene that warm, breezy charm the Archie gang does so well, making this 2000 digest a fun little slice of Riverdale mischief packed with reprints to enjoy.
