“Just Be Claus”

In "Just Be Claus," Archie finds himself in hot water after being caught speeding—20 mph in a 15 mph zone—only to have his friends swear he couldn't have been going that fast. Mr. Andrews, determined to teach Archie a lesson, enlists his police officer brother to issue a Christmas ticket, turning the holiday into a sticky situation. Written by Frank Doyle and illustrated by Harry Lucey, with lettering by Bill Yoshida, the story captures the classic Archie charm with a festive twist, all on a cover by Dan DeCarlo.
