Archie's Double Digest Magazine #45
In "The Little Things," Archie's Double Digest Magazine #45 (1990), Alex's habit of inventing names for everyone backfires when Josie and Valerie retaliate by refusing to use his real name—leaving him so flustered he starts forgetting it himself. Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life with Dan DeCarlo’s signature art, Rudy Lapick’s inks, Barry Grossman’s colors, and Bill Yoshida’s lettering, this lighthearted yet clever story turns a simple prank into a memorable moment of comic chaos. The cover by Dan DeCarlo and Rudy Lapick captures the playful tension perfectly.
