“No Fuel Like an Old Fuel”

In "No Fuel Like an Old Fuel," Archie and the gang face a road trip crisis when a gas shortage threatens their picnic plans. With no fuel to spare, they improvise by rigging a sail to Archie’s jalopy—working perfectly on the way out, but leaving them stranded without wind on the return. Written by George Gladir and brought to life with Stan Goldberg’s vibrant art, Jon D’Agostino’s inks, Barry Grossman’s colors, and Bill Yoshida’s crisp lettering, this 1974 classic captures the charm and humor of a bygone era. The cover by Dan DeCarlo Jr. and Rudy Lapick perfectly captures the lighthearted dilemma.
