Pep #305
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Missing Ingredient," Riverdale High's latest mishap—a leaky ceiling—sparks a series of small but hilarious crises, from Miss Grundy’s desperate search for warmth to Mr. Weatherbee’s baffling ability to appear in two places at once. With Bob Montana’s signature charm and Dan DeCarlo’s iconic cover art, this 1975 issue captures the everyday chaos of high school life with a perfectly timed punchline.
In "The Missing Ingredient," Betty sets out to win Archie’s attention by feigning a sudden interest in Jughead, sparking Veronica’s curiosity. As Veronica investigates the mystery of Betty’s new crush, Archie finds himself unexpectedly free to take Betty on a quiet boat ride—just as the plan intended.
In a single, quietly absurd page from Pep #305 (1975), the school’s leaky ceiling becomes a mystery when Miss Grundy stumbles upon a clue that might explain how Mr. Weatherbee appears to be in two places at once—while Coach Kleats keeps his eye on the game film and Miss Grundy just wants a little warmth.
In "A Cutting Remark," Fred takes matters into his own hands and paints the fence alone after being unable to find Archie. When Archie finally returns home, he feels guilty and tries to make amends by mowing the lawn—right next to the still-wet paint.
