Pat the Brat #25

Every kid who ever stared down a plate of vegetables will instantly relate to this Archie Series gem from 1958. The cover finds Pat slumped at the dinner table, chin in hands and a scowl on his face, while a red-haired woman looks on from across the green tablecloth — his plaintive speech bubble asking why vitamins have to live in spinach and squash instead of cake and candy pretty much says it all. At ten cents, Pat the Brat #25 delivers that warm, relatable humor that made Archie's humor line such a staple of the era.
