Life with Archie #175
In "The Canine Caper," Archie's suggestion that Veronica get a pet dog instead of a show champion sets off a chain of events when a famous trainer delivers a seemingly sweet, well-behaved pup to the Lodge family. Written by Frank Doyle and illustrated by Stan Goldberg, with inks by Jon D'Agostino and colors by Barry Grossman, this 1976 issue unfolds with a playful premise that quickly takes a surprising turn—this dog is far more than he appears. The cover by Dan DeCarlo and Rudy Lapick captures the moment's tension, hinting at trouble beneath the surface.
