Archie's Pals 'n' Gals Double Digest Magazine #89

In "Balance Diet?", Reggie tries to impress his date Susan with poetic compliments, only to be met with her wry observation about his predictable charm—especially when it comes to avoiding crowds. As they walk past a poster for a new CGI movie, Susan’s dry wit and unexpected confidence hint at a shift in their usual dynamic, setting up a lighthearted moment with subtle undercurrents. The story, illustrated with crisp, expressive lines by Samm Schwartz, captures the familiar charm of Riverdale’s teen antics, with a touch of playful irony. The cover by Stan Goldberg and Bob Smith perfectly frames the comic’s fun, nostalgic tone.
