Archie's Pals 'n' Gals Double Digest Magazine #13
In "Rent-a-Friend," Archie finds himself in a whirlwind of social chaos when his desperate cry for Veronica—echoing like a vintage Spike Jones record—accidentally shatters every delicate crystal in Mr. Lodge’s mansion, leaving the usually unflappable businessman stunned. Written by Frank Doyle and illustrated by Harry Lucey, with inks by Mario Acquaviva and letters by the same, this classic comic moment captures Archie’s trademark misadventures with a perfectly timed, crystal-shattering twist. The cover by Stan Goldberg and Rudy Lapick captures the scene’s chaotic charm in bold, nostalgic style.

Archie's plaintive wails for Veronica, much like the calls for "Chloe" on the old Spike Jones records, are shattering every piece of expensive crystal in the mansion, right before Mr. Lodge's horrified eyes.
