Archie's Pals 'n' Gals #215

Timed perfectly to Earth Day's 20th anniversary in 1990, this issue of Archie's Pals 'n' Gals captures the Riverdale gang in full celebratory mode. Dan DeCarlo's cover shows Archie and his friends laughing at a protest sign that cheekily reads "Conserve Paper… Give Less Homework!" — much to the exasperation of a red-faced, very bald authority figure in the foreground. It's a warm, funny snapshot of teen spirit meeting environmental awareness, with the gang's infectious energy leaping right off the page.
