Archie (Jumbo Comics) Double Digest #295
In "The Case of the Long Con," Archie’s usual mix-up with lab equipment takes a slippery turn when a dropped beaker of acid damages the chemistry lab floor, leading to an unlikely punishment: polishing Mr. Weatherbee’s desk and chair. But when Archie’s well-meaning attempt to help goes awry—accidentally mixing acid into the varnish—the entire setup starts to unravel in ways no one saw coming. Written by Frank Doyle and illustrated by Harry Lucey, with inks by Mario Acquaviva, this classic-style mishap is a perfect blend of slapstick and schoolhouse chaos, all wrapped in a cover by Bill Golliher and Jim Amash.

Archie accidentally drops a beaker of acid that eats through the chemistry floor. Banned from the chemistry lab, Mr. Weatherbee asks Archie to polish his chair and desk. But Archie accidentally adds a small test tube of acid into the varnish, which eats away the varnish brushes as well as the legs of Mr. Weatherbee's desk.
