Description

Archie #143 "The Lecture" Story Pg. 1, Pg. 24
Art by Harry Lucey
Written by Frank Doyle

A half splash from Silver Age Archie Comics issue 143 published in 1964, from the final story of the issue called "The Lecture", featuring gorgeous Harry Lucey art, written by Frank Doyle.

Clearly Archie did the "distracted boyfriend" meme first, before the internet was a thing, and arguably better than anyone else! ;-P

I have been watching more and more Archie pages in auctions recently, and one just might be my next squirrel. This has all of the clean lines and fun of those mid-1960s issues. Nice eye picking this one up Kavi, swooping in while Archie couldn't flirt with the other cute girl.

haha you should dude!!! while this specific example I wouldn't exactly call "affordable", I suspect due to it's content and coincidence with current pop culture/memes. however there are so many out there that are!! even from the Silver and Broze age and up to now - Archie is calling all squirrel hunters lol. I'm trying o get all my Archie art posted but unfortunately I still don't have access to my scanner yet while I can't take the stairs so I'm stuck with whatever I previously had on file...this page was way too big for me to scan anyways, larger than Twice Up perhaps

I got wandering eyes yes it's true I love the Lucey
I can't deny the memeing the good art's put down in my bones
I got wandering eyes oh but don't you worry ‘Roni
My art always stays here at home

Well I say you took Archie when you saw me look Lecture
And there was no denying what went through your mind
You were memed with jealousy oh but there's no need ‘Roni
Cause I'm just looking Kavi not looking to buy

haha good observation, Archie could use some extra fries and a shake at lunch to fill out those pants haha, maybe look to Jughead for dieting advice lol. everything looks top notch on this page - that and the content really drew me to it.

A beautiful Good Girl Art splash! Harry Lucey is one of my favourite Archie artists, maybe even my favourite. Interestingly enough, while Dan DeCarlo is the most famous one, he's further down on my list. Archie's legs aren't long, that's just an illusion because he's stick thin!

Reminds me of me of National Lampoon's Vacation - "No, no, no.  How could I like a girl like that?  She's ugly!"  :)  Nice try, Archie!  Congrats, man!
