“Can a Sled Be Smarter Than Archie?”

In "Can a Sled Be Smarter Than Archie?", Tomoko puts her classmates under the microscope—well, almost—after Miss Grundy suggests writing from real life. But when her fictionalized take on Riverdale’s crew lands her uncle in stitches, even the most ordinary high school antics start to feel like a cartoon. Written by George Gladir and brought to life with Stan Goldberg’s vibrant art and John Lowe’s crisp inks, this 2006 gem captures the charm of small-town school life with a dash of surreal humor—plus a cover by Goldberg and Bob Smith that’s as playful as the story inside.

Miss Grundy advises Tomoko to write about people she knows in order to make her stories more believable, so she writes about her classmates, slightly changing their names. However, her uncle, a book publisher, laughs that her stories are more unbelievable then ever with these crazy characters.
