Archie Giant Series Magazine #237
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "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.
Archie and Jughead pitch their new super-polishing wax spray to Mr. Lodge, hoping to land a big investment—only to discover it buffs things a little too effectively. With gleaming surfaces and unexpected consequences, their invention quickly spirals beyond their control.
In a prehistoric twist on invention, Reggie’s latest creation—a "vine and stick" he calls a bow and arrow—only works when used backwards. Despite the obvious logic, he’s dead set on sticking to his original design, no matter how absurd it looks.
