Archie's Pals 'n' Gals Double Digest Magazine #45
In "Star Roles," Li'l Jinx takes center stage with a quirky twist on a family heirloom: a high-tech watch that’s supposed to be the ultimate in durability—self-winding, shockproof, waterproof, and even calendar-equipped. But when she proudly shows off her dad’s gift, the watch’s fate takes a very personal turn, leaving her to declare it’s not "Li'l Jinx Proof." Written and illustrated by Joe Edwards in a single, tight creative package, this lighthearted moment from Archie's Pals 'n' Gals Double Digest Magazine #45 (1999) captures the charm of small-town humor with a touch of gadget-gone-wrong whimsy, all rendered in the classic style graced by Stan Goldberg’s cover art and Bob Smith’s inks.
