Pep Comics #136
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Watch Your Step," Archie tries to prove that the shortest path to school isn’t the usual route—Jughead, ever the practical joker, insists on a straight-line shortcut, no matter the obstacles. Written by Frank Doyle and illustrated by Harry Lucey with inks by Terry Szenics, this 1959 Pep Comics gem captures the classic misadventures of Riverdale’s teens with a playful, offbeat twist. The cover, also by Lucey and Szenics, perfectly captures the lighthearted chaos of the moment.
In "Watch Your Step," Archie tries to find the quickest path to school, only to take Jughead’s advice and attempt a straight-line route—no matter the obstacles. What follows is a whirlwind of comic missteps, as Archie navigates fences, puddles, and unexpected detours with increasingly creative (and chaotic) results.
Archie’s panic hits peak levels when Miss Grundy shows up to discuss his poor grades with his dad—until she recalls that Fred once had a reputation for being even worse in school.
In "The Wrong End," Jo and Wilbur find themselves caught in a comedic tangle when a skeptical advertising client attempts to prove the effectiveness of Linda's father's miracle hair oil—only to discover that nothing, not even gallons of the stuff, can flatten Wilbur's famously unmanageable mop.
