Life with Archie #12
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Cave Happy," Archie and the gang make their final descent into the mysterious underground world of the rock people, only to find themselves on the verge of a surprise — a shipment of amnesia gas is on the way, threatening to wipe their memories of the entire adventure. With the earth ship burrowing back to the surface, the group emerges at the mine shaft, reflecting on a day that, as Jughead notes, didn’t quite live up to expectations. Written by Sy Reit and illustrated by Bob White, this 1962 classic sees the beloved characters navigate a surreal, subterranean mystery with their usual mix of humor and charm. The cover by Bob White captures the whimsical tone of the tale.
In this charming 1962 slice of small-town life, Li'l Jinx discovers her dad dozing off at the front door, ready to head to work—only to realize he’s still half-asleep. With a giggle, she wakes him, only to hear him mumble about needing something to truly wake up, just as a snowball streaks toward his head in the final panel.
In "Up For Air," Archie and the gang find themselves back in the earth ship after their strange encounter with the rock people, just as a new message arrives: a shipment of amnesia gas is on the way, set to erase their memories of the underground world. As the ship burrows back toward the surface, the group emerges at the mine shaft, already debating whether the day’s adventure was worth it—Archie, Betty, and Reggie all agree it was dull, while Jughead sums it up with a shrug, noting nothing exciting happened.
