Archie #258
In "Labor of Laughs," Veronica makes a bold fashion statement with a wildly unflattering ensemble—baggy pants, a rope belt, a loose blouse, and a giant beret—sending the boys into uncontrollable laughter. Only Archie remains unfazed, having already seen the look and surprisingly declaring his approval, leaving everyone puzzled. Written by Frank Doyle and illustrated by Chic Stone, with inks by Jon D'Agostino, colors by Barry Grossman, and letters by Bill Yoshida, this 1976 classic features a cover by Dan DeCarlo and Rudy Lapick.
