Life with Archie #96

Veronica's confident answer to her parents' question about coming home early says it all — she and Archie are heading out in his red jalopy, bundled up in winter coats, and the fun will last exactly as long as his allowance holds. The cover's split-scene gag, with Mr. and Mrs. Lodge looking skeptical on the front steps while the couple speeds off into a starry night, captures the warm, breezy humor that made Life with Archie such a joy in 1970. A charming snapshot of teenage life in Riverdale that's hard not to smile at.
