Archie's Pals 'n' Gals #196

A wide-open refrigerator says it all — Archie sheepishly admits to his parents that he left nothing inside but the light bulb, while a table full of his hungry pals (including Betty, Veronica, Jughead, and Reggie) happily devour every last scrap of food. Dan DeCarlo's cover perfectly captures the cheerful chaos of Riverdale's most notorious appetite problem, with even more familiar faces peering in from the margins. At 75 cents, this 1988 issue of Archie's Pals 'n' Gals delivers the kind of lighthearted, crowd-pleasing fun the series does so well.
