Tear Jerker / Life With Archie: The Married Life

• Invoked by the first dual cover in the series. On the side where it shows the Married Veronica part of the cover, it shows money falling on Archie and Archie even holding onto some of the cash, but he is still unhappy, with Veronica worriedly trying to comfort him. That part of the cover implies that despite all that money, the hell he goes through in life renders him dead inside at times.
• Miss Grundy's funeral.
• The contents of issue 36. Archie dies after spending the entire issue reflecting on his life, the people who shaped it, and hopes for the future, and the following and final issue is the cast reacting to it.
