Archie (Jumbo Comics) Double Digest #261
In "All Camped Out," the leap year dance brings a whirlwind of misunderstandings as Linda asks Wilbur to be her date, leaving Laurie less than thrilled. When Slats panics at the thought of Hortense showing interest, he flees—only to confess his feelings to Wilbur, who’s secretly hoping Laurie will ask him. A well-intentioned message from Linda leads Slats to believe Laurie is interested, but the truth only comes to light on the night of the dance. Bill Vigoda’s expressive art captures every awkward moment, while Dan Parent’s cover brings the fun to life.
