Ever wonder how our artists and writers come up with the Archie stories?

Genre

Characters

Betty Cooper; Veronica Lodge; Victor Gorelick; Chuck Clayton; Nancy Woods; Hiram Lodge; Jughead Jones; Gaston; Ethel Muggs; Brendan (saint bernard); George Gladir (unnamed)

Synopsis

Victor Gorelick tells a writer to come up with a "simple" story, but the writer's imagination leads to a very complicated story.

Indexer Notes

The writer is unnamed but George Gladir is credited as the writer on this story and the initials on his briefcase are GG so the assumption is that it is George Gladir in the story.
