Little Archie #138

This cheerful 1979 installment of Little Archie delivers classroom comedy right on its cover, where a skeptical teacher demands to know just how Little Archie is studying "communications with animals" — and the red-headed youngster grins back that he's "dropping the fish a line," fishing rod aimed straight into a classroom aquarium full of goldfish. A disapproving principal and onlooking classmates round out the scene, while a small corner vignette promises a bonus appearance by Little Sabrina, the cute little witch. With Dexter Taylor handling every creative role — writing, art, inking, and lettering — this issue is a fine example of the warm, pun-loving humor that made the Little Archie series a staple of young readers' collections.
