Josie #38

In "Pursuit of Happiness," Josie finds herself caught in a whirlwind of chaos when the smooth-talking Clyde Didit takes a sudden interest in her—only to flee moments later, pursued by the fiercely determined Alexandra Cabot. With the help of the eccentric Count Drat, a hypnotist with a day job, Alexandra aims to make Clyde fall for her, turning the whole chase into a wild, comedic spiral. Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life with Dan DeCarlo’s signature charm—penciled and inked by DeCarlo and Lapick, with lettering by Bill Yoshida—this 1968 issue captures the zany energy of Archie’s teen romp era, all on a 12-cent cover by DeCarlo and Lapick.
