Archie's Pals 'n' Gals #86
In "Dateline Deceit," Veronica's attempt to impress her friends with lofty quotes backfires when Miss Grundy, the one person who truly knows her references, gently calls her out. Written by Frank Doyle and illustrated by Bob Bolling with inks by Rudy Lapick, this 1974 classic features a sharp, humorous moment of truth from the usually unflappable teacher. The cover by Dan DeCarlo and Rudy Lapick captures the scene with signature charm.
