Little Archie #120

Little Archie's cooking class experiment goes hilariously wrong on this 1977 cover, where a whole box of pepper has turned his "Surprise Stew" into a fire-breathing disaster — literal flames shooting from the pot as a wide-eyed adult taster gets more surprise than he bargained for. Young Archie and a classmate look on in their chef's hats while more culinary chaos unfolds in the background, with additional kids and another flustered adult adding to the kitchen mayhem. It's a warm, laugh-out-loud snapshot of the kind of cheerful, all-ages humor that made this Archie Series title a perennial favorite.
