Everything's Archie #126

The Archies are in full swing on Dan DeCarlo's cover, with Archie on guitar, Betty and Veronica shaking maracas, and the whole band rocking out — while a delighted older gentleman snaps his fingers in the doorway, blissfully unaware that his enthusiasm is exactly what's worrying them. That speech bubble — "I'm worried about our new song, Betty! Daddy likes it!!" — captures the eternal teen dilemma with perfect comic timing. This November 1986 issue is a warm, funny slice of Riverdale life that fans of Frank Doyle's sharp, breezy writing will find right in his wheelhouse.
