Archie... Archie Andrews, Where Are You? Comics Digest Magazine #62
In "The Harried Commuter," Archie Andrews finds himself caught between two worlds—school life and the real world—when he pushes Jughead to write a school paper arguing that fun should outweigh studying. After a visit to a class reunion, Archie starts questioning his own priorities, realizing that skipping schoolwork might not lead to a carefree future after all. Written by George Gladir and illustrated by Dan DeCarlo Jr., with inks by Jim DeCarlo, colors by Barry Grossman, and letters by Bill Yoshida, this 1989 tale captures the growing pains of youth with the signature charm of the Archie universe. The cover, penciled by Dan DeCarlo and inked by Jim DeCarlo, perfectly captures the comic's lighthearted yet thoughtful tone.
