Archie's Pals 'n' Gals #189
In "On the Ball!", Archie and Jughead face a surprisingly tough challenge: finding teammates for a touch football game, only to be met with empty fields and no takers—until Betty and Veronica step in, flipping the script and turning the quiet afternoon into a sudden, unexpected spectacle of interest. Written by Jim Ruth and illustrated by Rex Lindsey with inks by Rudy Lapick, this 1987 slice of Riverdale life captures the charm and humor of the classic comic with a fresh, energetic spin. The cover, penciled and inked by Dan DeCarlo, perfectly captures the lighthearted chaos of the moment.
