Archie's Pals 'n' Gals #30
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Don't Knock Knees," Archie's Pals 'n' Gals #30 (1964), the gang's clambake takes a quirky turn when the boys declare the prettiest knees will win the title of most glamorous girl—leaving Veronica suddenly self-conscious about her own. Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life with Dan DeCarlo’s signature style and Vincent DeCarlo’s inks, the story captures the lighthearted anxiety of teenage self-image, all under Samm Schwartz’s playful cover.
In "Don't Knock Knees," Jo and the gang turn the annual clambake into a hilariously awkward beauty contest—judging the prettiest girl by her knees. Veronica, ever the perfectionist, spirals into a self-conscious frenzy over whether her knees measure up to the competition.
In "Don't Quote Me," Veronica finds herself unexpectedly charmed by an older man who wows her with his flowery literary quotes—so much so that Archie, determined to keep up, dives into the classics to win her back. With a mix of humor and teenage rivalry, he scrambles to impress her with his own well-placed references, unaware of just how deep the quote war has gone.
