Laugh Comics / Laugh #315
In "Informal Formal," Archie overhears Veronica dismiss him as too unrefined to attend a formal event, prompting a frantic dash to spend every cent on a brand-new tuxedo. Written by Dick Malmgren and illustrated by Bob Bolling, with inks by Jon D'Agostino, colors by Barry Grossman, and letters by Bill Yoshida, this 1977 laugh-fueled tale captures Archie’s over-the-top reaction with all the charm of a classic Archie comic. The cover, by Stan Goldberg, perfectly captures the moment’s comedic tension.
