On the page http://www.comicstripfan.com/newspaper/a/archie.htm they show the original art to the strip from 7-1 copyright 1967 (unsure if that is January 7th or July 1st) with the note "Laugh 317 Aug" written at the bottom. The strip is about Archie's mother throwing a ball to wake up Archie's dog.
