Archie and Me #142
In "The Cutting Remark," Archie's offhand joke about Mr. Weatherbee's weight sets off an unexpected chain of events when the principal takes it personally—now determined to prove he's in shape, he's tackling an obstacle course behind the school. Written and drawn by Bob Bolling, with colors by Barry Grossman and letters by Bill Yoshida, this 1983 classic captures the quiet tension of regret and the absurdity of pride, all rendered in the timeless style of Dan DeCarlo’s cover.
