Laugh Comics / Laugh #171
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Wheel of Fortune," Hap tries a clever trick to part with Jinx’s beloved, worn-out doll by gifting her a shiny new one—but when Jinx insists on keeping the old favorite, even through the night, Hap finds himself caught in a lighthearted tug-of-war of affection. Written and drawn by Joe Edwards, this 1965 classic from Laugh Comics #171 captures the charm of childhood attachments with warmth and humor, all rendered in the expressive style of Samm Schwartz on the cover.
In "Wheel of Fortune," Betty struggles under the weight of a heavy laundry bag, subtly nudging Archie to show some chivalry. His solution? Renting a wagon from a passing kid so she can drag her load behind her—much to her growing exasperation.
Archie’s day takes a wild turn when he wins a goat at a farmer’s market raffle, and now he’s racing to sneak the mischievous animal through Riverdale High without Mr. Weatherbee catching on. With only six pages and a whole lot of chaos waiting to unfold, it’s a classic case of teenage trouble with a barnyard twist.
In "Hello Dolly!", Hap tries to trade Jinx’s worn-out doll for a shiny new one, hoping to finally reclaim his favorite chair. But when he finds Jinx cuddling the old, threadbare doll instead of her new toy, he’s left scratching his head—just how attached can a kid get to a raggedy relic?
In "Wrong Calculations," Archie and Reggie both decide to try out for the basketball team after hearing Veronica has her heart set on dating the captain—only to be surprised when Dilton ends up in the role. The story follows their reactions as their plans shift in unexpected ways, all while the court becomes the stage for a very different kind of game.
