☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Smoke Scream," Josie’s frustration with dish duty takes a funny turn when Pepper warns her that scrubbing dishes will give her "dishpan hands" and ruin her chances with Albert. Naturally, Mr. Jones steps in—only to make Albert pitch in, much to his dismay. Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life with Dan DeCarlo’s signature charm and Rudy Lapick’s crisp inks, this 1963 classic features a delightfully silly twist on teenage chores, all wrapped in Bob White’s vibrant cover art.
In "Smoke Scream," Mr. Lodge declares he’s quitting smoking for good—just one final cigar to mark the occasion. When Archie accidentally ruins it, he’s sent on a mission to fetch a single replacement, setting off a chain of escalating chaos.
In "Scrub Team!", Josie finds herself stuck doing the dishes—until Pepper protests that dishpan hands could scare off her crush, Albert. In a twist neither expected, Josie’s dad enlists Albert to help, turning the chore routine into an unexpected partnership.
