Archie's TV Laugh-Out #30
In "That's the Way the Ball Bounces," Veronica’s well-intentioned plan to help Ethel backfires in the most hilariously awkward way during the gang’s Christmas celebration. Written and drawn by Al Hartley, with inks by Jon D'Agostino and colors by Barry Grossman, this 1975 classic captures the charm and chaos of Archie’s teenage antics. The cover by Dan DeCarlo and Rudy Lapick perfectly captures the festive, flustered mood of the moment.
