The New Archies #14

Classroom chaos reigns on Henry Scarpelli's lively cover for this 1989 entry in the junior Archie series, where Ms. Grundy lunges desperately across the room as frogs leap in every direction — much to the alarm of a visiting school board official and the barely-suppressed delight of the kids watching from the sidelines. The speech bubbles promise that the school board head has chosen quite the moment to drop by, right as science class takes a very unexpected turn. It's a perfectly timed snapshot of middle-school mayhem that sets a cheerful, comedic tone for the whole issue.
