Laugh Comics / Laugh #315
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Informal Formal," Archie overhears Veronica dismiss him as too unrefined to attend a formal event, prompting a frantic dash to spend every cent on a brand-new tuxedo. Written by Dick Malmgren and illustrated by Bob Bolling, with inks by Jon D'Agostino, colors by Barry Grossman, and letters by Bill Yoshida, this 1977 laugh-fueled tale captures Archie’s over-the-top reaction with all the charm of a classic Archie comic. The cover, by Stan Goldberg, perfectly captures the moment’s comedic tension.
Archie, stung by Veronica’s remark that he isn’t elegant enough to accompany her, impulsively spends every penny on a brand-new tuxedo—only to wonder if the gesture was worth it when he hasn’t even asked her yet.
In "Happy Days," Archie and Betty are startled when they learn the old tree where they once carved their initials is being cut down and hauled away. Betty, determined to preserve their memory, convinces Archie to chase after the truck carrying the tree through the town.
