“The Traffic Jam Left a Bitter Taste or Bad Luck at the Cloverleaf”

In "The Traffic Jam Left a Bitter Taste or Bad Luck at the Cloverleaf," Dilton's van goes missing, sending Archie and the gang on a surprisingly aerial rescue mission with Archie's uncle—only to discover the culprit was a delayed alarm system that left the van stranded in plain sight. Written and illustrated by Bob Bolling, with inks by Rudy Lapick, colors by Barry Grossman, and letters by Bill Yoshida, this 1982 classic blends suburban charm with a touch of whimsical detective work, all capped by Dan DeCarlo’s iconic cover.
