Archie Comics Digest #45

This full-color digest from 1980 packs in jokes, puzzles, and a lively lineup of Riverdale favorites — the cover, penciled and inked by Dan DeCarlo, captures a hilariously chaotic Student Ecology Fund car wash where Archie and friends are thoroughly soaking an unsuspecting bystander with a hose while a yellow car gets the full treatment. Medallion portraits of Moose, Li'l Jinx, Dilton, Little Archie, and Ginger round out the edges, hinting at the variety of strips collected inside, including Harry Lucey's "A Girl Named Sue." It's a cheerful snapshot of everything that made Archie digests such an entertaining read.
