Plus: When the Andrewses have to go out of town, they hire a female bodybuilder to watch Archie in "I Won't Stand for Sitting"; Archie overdoses on fights from watching daytime television in the 1-pager "Fight Delight"; and the girls question the necessity of the boys having to throw everything at each other, rather than exchange it in a civilized manner, in "It's a Toss-Up!" Also: Veronica convinces her father to add a wheelchair ramp to the mansion's front landing in the 1-page public service announcement "Home Improvement," co-sponsored by United Cerebral Palsy Associations and with art by Dan DeCarlo. 32 pages, full color.
