Pep #215
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Brushoff," Fred’s attempt to keep Archie home for chores backfires in a big way when the boy’s sudden absence from the Lodge household sets off a chain of unexpected events. Written by Dick Malmgren and illustrated by Bob Bolling, this 1968 classic from Pep #215 captures the usual chaos of Riverdale life with a twist that leaves Fred wishing he’d thought twice. The cover by Dan DeCarlo and Rudy Lapick perfectly captures the moment’s playful tension.
In "Hello Dolly," Jo is heartbroken when Hap tosses out her beloved, threadbare plush doll, Jinx, after it falls apart—leaving her wide awake and lonely, clinging to the memory of a friend who’s gone. The story captures the quiet, tender ache of childhood loss, where even a toy can feel like a true companion.
