“Wouldn't Bother Me!”

In "Wouldn't Bother Me!", Archie and his friends find themselves unexpectedly sidelined when Pop's free t-shirt promotion floods his shop with customers—so many that there's no room left for the usual crew. Written by Jim Ruth and illustrated by Rex W. Lindsey, with inks by Mike Esposito and colors by Barry Grossman, this 1987 classic captures the chaos of small-town hustle, all capped off with a vibrant cover by Dan DeCarlo.
