Story  on  Interior Page(s)
Credits
Colorist(s): ?
Subject Matter
Genres: humorous, teen
Character(s): Josie; Melody; Pepper; Clyde Didit; Archie Andrews (cameo); Veronica Lodge (cameo)
Synopsis: Meet Clyde Didit (also known as "Orbit"), a guitar-playing musician with sunglasses and hideous fashion sense.

Disclose Notes: Part one of a four-part, issue-length story.

As of this issue, Albert has been dropped from the comic. Clyde Didit, a re-designed version of a character who originally appeared in "Archie's Mad House," is here introduced to take his place as the resident musician and the object of affection for both Josie and Alexandra.

This issue is full of references and homages to the then-popular TV series "Laugh-In," including the catchphrase "Sock It To Me."

Script identifiable as Frank Doyle by his distinctive jokes and dialogue.
