Archie's TV Laugh-Out #43
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Saddle Twaddle," Archie Andrews and the Pussycats head to the beach for a quiet morning before the crowds arrive—only to have their peace interrupted by Alan M.'s unruly motorcycle. Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life with Dan DeCarlo’s signature style, Rudy Lapick’s inks, Barry Grossman’s colors, and Bill Yoshida’s letters, this 1976 slice of small-town fun captures the chaos of youth with a classic Archie charm. The cover by Rudy Lapick perfectly sets the tone for the lighthearted mayhem within.
In "Saddle Twaddle," Archie finds himself caught in a whirlwind of promises at the Colonial Day Pageant, scrambling between exhibits to help both Betty and Veronica—each expecting his full attention. With his usual mix of enthusiasm and misjudgment, he’s soon racing across the grounds, trying to keep up with a schedule that’s impossible to fulfill.
When the Pussycats and Archie Andrews head to the beach at dawn for a quiet morning, their peaceful getaway takes a noisy turn—thanks to Alan M.'s broken-down motorcycle, which quickly turns their serene start into a chaotic splash.
