That Wilkin Boy #23

In "The Banning of Bingo!", Bingo’s accidental breakage of Mr. Smythe’s "America: Love It Or Leave It" statue sparks a fiery misunderstanding when Sampson leaps to the conclusion it was sabotage—prompting him to chase the "liberal-minded pinko" out of his house. Written by Dick Malmgren and brought to life with vibrant energy by Stan Goldberg, Mario Acquaviva, Barry Grossman, and Bill Yoshida, this 1973 Archie classic captures a moment of youthful chaos and misplaced outrage. The cover, by Dan DeCarlo and Rudy Lapick, perfectly captures the scene’s comedic tension.
