“Paper Weight”

In "Paper Weight," Veronica’s prank takes a hilarious turn when she tries to impress Betty by keeping a life-like balloon of Archie in her car—only to accidentally fill it with helium instead of air. The balloon, meant to stay grounded, lifts her straight into the sky, leaving her stranded and the joke very much on her. Written and illustrated by Bob Bolling, this classic Archie tale captures the series’ signature charm, with Dan DeCarlo and Rudy Lapick bringing the chaos to life on the cover.
