Story Notes
This trip to the real Archie offices includes caricatures of nearly all the staffers and freelancers at the time. In-jokes include the presence of a "Florida contingent" of staffers who had moved there from New York (Frank Doyle, Bob Bolling, Al Hartley, and Samm Schwartz), gratuitous plugs for Archie advertising clients and toy tie-ins, and longtime Jughead specialist Samm Schwartz staring amorously at posters of Jughead.
