Archie's Story & Game Digest Magazine #1
In "Wheel Deal," Ethel takes a fortune cookie's prediction—she'll marry a tall blonde man—dead seriously, fixating on Jughead despite his obvious lack of both height and hair color. Jughead, trying to play along, awkwardly hides a mop on his head as a makeshift wig, while Reggie and Archie team up to gently convince Ethel that fortune cookies aren't exactly reliable. Written by Frank Doyle and illustrated by Dan DeCarlo with inks by Vince DeCarlo, this lighthearted tale captures the classic charm of the Archie universe, with the cover by Dan DeCarlo rounding out a fun, nostalgic 1986 slice of small-town humor.
