Archie Comics Digest #37
In "For the Birds," Smithers is under pressure to impress the N.U.M.B. with a show-stopping performance—especially since his rival Jeeves is planning something big. Desperate to one-up him, Smithers refuses to hire The Archies, even though that means avoiding the one group he knows could deliver, simply because it would mean owing a favor to Archie. Written by Frank Doyle and illustrated by Bob Bolling with lettering by Bill Yoshida, this 1979 Archie Comics Digest tale delivers classic humor with a side of rivalry, all wrapped in a cover by Bob Bolling.
