B&V Friends Double Digest Magazine #266

In "$ell Away!", Alan’s date with Josie takes a hilarious turn when his pants rip during a shopping trip—leaving him scrambling to make it on time. With a tailor’s repair taking longer than expected, a simple phone call to cancel goes awry when the shop’s clerk decides to step in and take Alan’s place. Written by Frank Doyle and illustrated by Dan DeCarlo with inks by Jim DeCarlo and letters by Bill Yoshida, this lighthearted tale of mistaken identity and misdirected romance comes to life with classic Archie charm. The cover, by Jeff Shultz, captures the moment with playful flair.
