| Synopsis | Archie and Veronica are dining out. | Archie accidentally sells his jalopy, so he takes Veronica on a date in a horse and carraige. Later, he causes chaos in the restaurant. |
| Reprint Notes | ||
| Notes | Sahle is credited on pencils and Drury on ink on this feature by Jerry Bails' Who's Who. | Previous indexer credited Harry Sahle on pencils and Virginia Drury on inks, as credited in Jerry Bails' Who's Who. Changed because pencils bear more similarities to Bill Vigoda's art than Harry Sahle's art. Also, Harry Sahle had not been working at MLJ for some time when this was published. |

| Donald Dale Milne | Luke - Sequence 2 - When changing credits, some explanation of why the change was made should be included, along with a note of the type "Previous indexer credited..." (especially when the previous indexer has cited sources). This helps future site users sort out disputed credits and avoids someone else changing credits back to something previously discarded. Thanks - Don |
