☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Hurry Up and Wait!", Archie takes charge—sort of—trying to make Veronica on time for their date, only to find himself scrambling to keep up when the tables turn. Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life with classic charm by Harry Lucey, with inks by Terry Szenics and letters by the same, this 1982 Laugh Comics Digest Magazine issue captures the chaos of teenage timing with a smile. The cover, a delightfully expressive Dan DeCarlo duo, perfectly sets the tone for the lighthearted mayhem inside.
In "Hurry Up and Wait!", Archie takes charge—sort of—trying to make sure Veronica is ready on time for their date, only to find himself scrambling to avoid being late. With classic teen chaos and a dash of comic timing, the story captures the universal struggle of punctuality and the unexpected twists that come with it.
Archie’s cash flow is in crisis, so Betty steps in as his financial advisor—only to deliver a harsh truth: his car and Veronica are draining his wallet. Now he’s got to choose between the two, and neither option is easy.
Archie’s got a clever (if slightly lazy) plan: he trades free dinners at local eateries for glowing reviews in his self-published guide, *Dates and Where to Have Them*. With a notebook in hand and a charm offensive on full tilt, he’s determined to eat his way through town—one romanticized meal at a time.
