Dan DeCarlo #[nn]

In this playful 1992 tale, Millie and Chili stumble into the world of comic book fame when they visit *Millie the Model Magazine* and run into Stan Lee and Dan DeCarlo themselves. The duo’s unexpected cameo sparks a lighthearted idea that leads to a fun new venture—launching *A Date with Millie*, a magazine that blends humor and teen charm.

In this brief, quietly funny strip from Dan DeCarlo’s 1992 collection, Jo finds herself relying on Lumpy to read her bank notice—only to see him quickly abandoned mid-ride when Stanley swaps him out for Cuddles in his sports car. A small moment of comic timing and shifting priorities, all in a single page.

In "Stage As Sweet As You Are," Betty and Veronica both audition for the school play, each hoping to catch Archie’s attention. When Veronica tries to sideline Betty by steering her toward a minor role, she accidentally sets off a twist neither expected—leaving her own plans up in the air.

Melody’s convinced she’s a jinx after every boy she meets ends up in a mishap, but Josie’s skeptical—until Dan DeCarlo, her old friend, suddenly finds himself smitten with Melody.
