Life with Archie #259
In "Too Much of a Good Thing!", Betty and Veronica watch in disbelief as Archie and Dilton’s science project takes a bizarre turn—literally. When snail-like aliens in a tiny flying saucer shrink the gang and whisk them away, the four must dodge Svenson’s cat Loki while flying on a paper airplane Archie once made. Written by Bob Bolling and illustrated by Bob Bolling with inks by Chic Stone, this 1987 adventure blends classic Archie charm with a delightfully outlandish twist. The cover, by Dan DeCarlo, captures the moment of alien abduction with playful flair.

Betty and Veronica look at Archie's and Dilton's projects for science project week. Snail-like aliens on a small flying saucer outside the window shrink the foursome so they can abduct them for a flea market. The aliens are distracted and the four have to escape Svenson's cat Loki on a paper airplane that Archie had made earlier. The aliens are ordered back to their home planet and enlarge the teens to normal size before leaving.
