That Wilkin Boy #31
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Triple Play," Bingo tries to honor Samantha’s wish not to receive a birthday gift—only to find that her reaction is far from the relief he expected. Written by Dick Malmgren and brought to life with Dan DeCarlo’s signature style, this 1975 Archie classic captures the awkward charm of teenage miscommunication, with Rudy Lapick’s inks and Barry Grossman’s colors adding warmth to the moment. The cover by Dan DeCarlo and Rudy Lapick perfectly captures the scene’s playful tension.
In "The Gift of Friendship," Bingo takes Samantha’s request to skip birthday gifts literally—only to face her disappointment when he shows up empty-handed. The humor unfolds as her reaction tests the strength of their friendship, all while staying true to the quiet, heartfelt charm of their bond.
In "A Women's Lib-Rib," Bingo’s self-esteem takes a hit when he realizes Samantha outshines him in strength, prompting Uncle Herman to suggest a series of playful challenges where Bingo might finally prove he’s got what it takes.
