Archie & Friends #7

The cover of Archie & Friends #7 (1994) sets up a wonderfully silly art-class disaster: a spilled can of blue paint has somehow taken on a surly, stretchy life of its own, looming up at a startled blonde while Archie gleefully points at the mess and a friend in a striped shirt looks on from the background — all punctuated by the deadpan quip, "How sad! Archie's feeling blue!" Cover pencils by Dan Parent with inks by Rudy Lapick give the scene a clean, energetic charm that fits the "Artful Dodger" story perfectly. Bonus strips featuring Sebrina and the Carneys are teased across the top, making this a well-packed issue for any Riverdale fan.
