Life with Archie #78
In "Lip Service," Archie finds himself in a surprisingly heated showdown with Mr. Lodge over the merits of their favorite music, leading to a chaotic accident when Archie hurls an electric guitar into the pool—just as Mr. Lodge is passing by. The resulting shock sends the usually composed businessman tumbling into the water, prompting Archie to spring into action with an urgent, if unorthodox, rescue. Art by Harry Lucey brings the absurdity and tension to life in this classic 1968 installment, a standout moment in the long-running series.
