Archie's Double Digest Magazine #181
In "Father Knows Best," Archie tries to impress the girls at the beach with a surfboard he can’t actually ride—until a passing Hawaiian points him toward the best waves, turning his awkward attempt into an unexpected lesson in humility. Written by George Gladir and illustrated by Dan DeCarlo Jr., with inks by Jim DeCarlo, colors by Barry Grossman, and letters by Bill Yoshida, this lighthearted summer tale captures Archie’s signature charm. The cover, by Jeff Shultz and Jon D'Agostino, perfectly captures the laid-back vibe of the beachside adventure.
