Archie's Double Digest Magazine #143

Archie's Double Digest #143 brings a nautical dose of humor to this 2003 digest, with cover art by Stan Goldberg (pencils) and Bob Smith (inks) setting the breezy tone perfectly. On the dock, a sheepish Archie sits coiling rope while Veronica — life preserver in hand, sun hat on head, and life vest firmly in place — delivers the deadpan zinger, "It's not that I don't have confidence in your seamanship…" The scene captures that classic Archie charm: sunny skies, sparkling harbor, and a girl who came very well prepared.
