Little Archie #157
In "Test Pest," Josie and Valerie push through a grueling ten-mile race—only to pause for a break, where their Hostess Fruit Pies unexpectedly turn the event into a full-blown snack stop. With Dan DeCarlo’s dynamic art and Jim DeCarlo’s crisp inks bringing the scene to life, the issue captures a lighthearted moment of camaraderie and snack-fueled chaos. The cover by Dexter Taylor perfectly captures the playful energy of the race’s unexpected detour.
