Archie Giant Series Magazine #237
In "Buffed and Rebuffed," prehistoric Reggie takes a crack at inventing the bow and arrow—though he calls it a "vine and stick"—only to discover it works perfectly when used backwards. Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life with classic charm by artist Harry Lucey, with inks by Marty Epp and letters by Bill Yoshida, this 1975 gem from the Archie Giant Series Magazine finds Reggie doubling down on his peculiar logic, much to the amusement of those around him. The cover by Harry Lucey captures the prehistoric mischief perfectly.
