Laugh Comics / Laugh #38
In "I Only Have Ice for You!", Archie and Veronica sprint to beat Reggie in breaking the news that the Board of Education is considering retiring Mr. Weatherbee—only to accidentally publish a misquoted headline claiming he opposes homework because it causes procrastination. The resulting mix-up, drawn with George Frese’s sharp, expressive style, turns the school’s conservative principal into an unexpected progressive hero. Samm Schwartz’s cover captures the chaos perfectly, as the gang scrambles to clean up the fallout.

Veronica and Archie race Reggie to scoop a headline about the Board of Education seeking Mr. Weatherbee's retirement. Since Jughead is opposed to printing rumors, they instead print a misquote from Mr. Weatherbee claiming his opposition to homework on the grounds that it leads to procrastination. When the Board reads the story, they laud Weatherbee's progressiveness and decide against seeking his retirement.
