Archie's TV Laugh-Out #99
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Wheel Spiel," Archie takes his horoscope a little too seriously when it warns him that "wheels will be his undoing," leading the Archies on a hilariously misguided journey to their gig via balloon, dogsled, and snowshoes. Written by George Gladir and illustrated by Dan DeCarlo Jr. with inks by Jim DeCarlo, this 1985 classic captures the gang’s chaotic misadventures in a story that’s as clever as it is silly. The cover by Dan DeCarlo perfectly captures the absurdity of the moment.
When Archie’s horoscope warns that "wheels will be his undoing," he takes it too literally, ditching the car for a bizarre cross-country trek with The Archies—on a balloon, dogsled, and snowshoes. They arrive at their gig late, only to discover their spot has been taken by a rival band called The Wheels.
In "East Is West," Alex lands the Pussycats a performance at a Chinese social club, leading the girls to don traditional costumes and practice Chinese music—only to discover the audience is made up of Chinese teens who just want to hear the real Pussycats play their usual tunes.
In "Three Is Trouble," Jo finds herself caught between Aunt Hilda and Sabrina when the Watchdog Committee cracks down on festive magic, fining witches who dare to celebrate Christmas. With holiday cheer under siege, the trio must navigate the chaos of rules and rebellion—without losing their spark.
