The Great Mince Pie Mystery

Here is another great Bob Bolling Little Archie story that features poor picked-on Little Ambrose rather prominently. The odd little boy with the conductor's wand (and who looks a bit like TV's Monk) is Ludwig la Stanza, the musical moppet.

So if you had some of those digests yourself, chances are you have read these stories before.

Here is a story from Little Archie #11 (Summer 1959):
