Archie Comics Digest #46

The holiday spirit is in full swing on Dan DeCarlo's cover for this 1981 digest, where Archie and the gang are out caroling in the snow — complete with a saxophone player — while Mr. Lodge, unamused, requests a pair of earplugs in response. Framed by a festive holly wreath and surrounded by vignettes of familiar Riverdale faces, the whole scene radiates that cheerful, slightly chaotic warmth the series does so well. Packed with reprints and "Jolly Jokes," this is a cozy stocking-stuffer of holiday hilarity.
