Life with Archie #77

This 1968 Archie Series gem captures a perfectly chaotic summer day on the water, with Veronica pleading to her captain-hatted father Mr. Lodge at the boat's throttle to slow down so Archie — airborne on water skis beneath a wild kite contraption — can safely land. The playful back-and-forth speech bubbles between Ronnie and her amused dad sum up the breezy, laugh-ready energy that made Life with Archie such a reliable treat, and the little vignette of a boy and dog racing across the masthead adds an extra dash of fun to the whole package.
