☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Pursuit of Happiness," Josie finds herself caught in a whirlwind of chaos when the smooth-talking Clyde Didit takes a sudden interest in her—only to flee moments later, pursued by the fiercely determined Alexandra Cabot. With the help of the eccentric Count Drat, a hypnotist with a day job, Alexandra aims to make Clyde fall for her, turning the whole chase into a wild, comedic spiral. Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life with Dan DeCarlo’s signature charm—penciled and inked by DeCarlo and Lapick, with lettering by Bill Yoshida—this 1968 issue captures the zany energy of Archie’s teen romp era, all on a 12-cent cover by DeCarlo and Lapick.
In "Pursuit of Happiness," Josie finds herself caught in a chaotic chase when the ever-persistent Clyde Didit, the Crooning Casanova, takes off—only to be hot on the heels of Alexandra Cabot, who’s hired the eccentric Count Drat, a world-famous hypnotist and part-time office boy, to make Clyde fall for her.
In "Busy Signal," Alex takes Josie to Lover's Lane in his flashy car, hoping for a sweet moment—only to have the mood shattered by the sudden, chaotic ringing of every phone in the vehicle. The unexpected noise turns a romantic drive into a chaotic comedy of errors, testing just how far Josie’s patience will stretch.
Melody’s convinced she’s a jinx after every boy she meets ends up in a mishap, but Josie laughs it off—until her old friend Dan DeCarlo shows up, suddenly smitten, and starts acting like he’s lost his mind.
