When I first saw the cover, I thought, "Why is an artist for Archie making an appearance in the actual Archie comic?" But then I saw that Glenn Scarpelli is Henry Scarpelli (the comic artist)'s son. Although the story itself was an illustrated non-sequitor, I really appreciated Dan DeCarlo's pencils after enduring the hot mess of Jontar last week. The abrupt conversion of Charlie and Clyde reminded me of a "Life with Archie" (the 70s version) called "The Hermit," where Archie, Betty, and Veronica convince an orphan living in a cave to not only rejoin society but sign up with the Peace Corps.
There's a limit to fatherly pride, and it looks like ol' Henry overstepped it....
