Archie (Jumbo Comics) Double Digest #299
In "Love Is in the Spare!", Veronica attempts a heartfelt gift by knitting Archie a sweater—though her stitches are less than perfect. When Reggie mocks the result, a heated argument sparks, leading to a brawl and the sweater’s untimely demise. Now furious, Veronica declares she’ll only knit for Reggie going forward, leaving Archie to wonder if he’s truly the one she’s meant for. Written and illustrated by Dick Malmgren, with lettering by Bill Yoshida, this lighthearted rom-com moment is captured on a cover by Bill Golliher and Jim Amash.
