Life with Archie #283

A spotless bedroom and suspicious parents make for a wonderfully relatable setup on this 1991 entry in the long-running Archie Series. The cover by Dan DeCarlo and Alison Flood finds a relaxed Archie stretched out on his bed reading a comic, his Riverdale-pennant-decorated room conspicuously neat, while his parents stand in the doorway — his dad incredulous and his mom hands-on-hips — marveling that his room has been tidy for two straight weeks and demanding to know what he's up to. It's the kind of lighthearted domestic comedy that makes Life with Archie such enduring fun, and the Archie 50th Anniversary badge in the corner gives this issue a little extra commemorative charm.
