Archie & Friends #81

A lively dance party sets the scene on this 2004 issue of Archie & Friends, with Archie and Betty sharing a smooth moment in the foreground while Ethel enthusiastically whirls a hapless partner off his feet in the background — their mismatched footwork announced by a pair of very funny speech bubbles. Stan Goldberg's pencils and Bob Smith's inks fill the gym with balloons, music notes, and a crowd of Riverdale faces having a genuinely good time. It's a warm, fun snapshot of everything that makes this long-running series so reliably charming.
