“Aboard the Narcissus”

In "Aboard the Narcissus," Archie finds himself in trouble after a prank gone wrong, landing him in Mr. Weatherbee’s office—only to be handed a surprising assignment: organize a school picnic aboard a boat. With a mix of chaos and good intentions, Archie ends up chartering a garbage scow, but his determination and quick thinking keep things from sinking. Written by Ed Goggin and illustrated by Sahle with inks by Ginger, this 1944 adventure features a delightfully messy voyage with cover art by Harry Sahle.
