Archie [So Much Fun] #282

In "The Money Angle," Archie tries to convince his parents that economic downturns can be overcome by spending more—not less—only to find his logic met with skepticism, especially from Mr. Andrews, who sees it as a thinly veiled request for a bigger allowance. Veronica, ever the realist with a hint of flair, agrees with the spirit of the idea, declaring that the American way is to spend freely, regardless of the economy, and let Daddy foot the bill. Written by Frank Doyle and illustrated by Harry Lucey with inks by Chic Stone, colors by Barry Grossman, and letters by Bill Yoshida, this 1987 issue features a cover by Dan DeCarlo Jr. that captures the lighthearted tension of Archie’s financial dilemma.
