I had to answer this question of "Who Wrote This?"

Frank Doyle. Thanks for asking. Though, I don't think it registered to the seeker of said knowledge.
It is a quick lesson in why I do celebrate large parts of the Archie Comics library, and shun huge parts as well. For instance, what do you do with this?

The Christian version is far more direct and also features Big Ethel as the savior to the hippie. It almost seems like the last panels in the secular version continue on in the Christian take. These panels may even have been in the original before publisher John Goldwater stepped in and told him to take it easy. From Archie's Something Else:

LEGION: Yeah man - well, like I've been talking to Big Ethel in the cafeteria!!! Well, I'm new here at Riverdale High - You wouldn't believe my past - I've been into everything!!! My folks are divorced - and neither of them pays any attention to me! Life seemed like a lousy trip! And then this chick started to rap - I figured she was a real cornball!!! But as Big Ethel talked - I realized she was on the level! She was concerned about me!!! And when she began to share LOVE - and JESUS - it was really something else! And y'know - it wasn't just her talking to me - I felt God talking to me too!

So Al Hartley's interpretation of the Archie gang in both the religious and secular camps portrayed them as straight-shooting, anti-hippie, all-American kids. But every Archie artist, although following the same basic model sheets, displayed their own style that made them identifiable. Beyond mere brush strokes, each artist's interpretation also slightly altered the Riverdale gang's state of mind. In Archie #198 from March 1970, Harry Lucey's story, The Terrible Tube, has Archie trying to convince his father the virtues of the exact thing he and the gang had been denouncing Legion for in the Hartley tale.

A classic. We see Archie celebrating a campus riot at the university "PU". Then again, the name "PU" -- Pugnacious University -- does bring the thing to its typical Al Capp-ish politics of the comic book company.

Seems about the size of it.

To review the last of the great insults to the memory of Dan Decarlo.

Boy, I sure hope they talk about how he created Josie and the Pussycats in these books. And why he moved on to drawing Simpsons comics and such in his last few years.

Yes, Archie Comics treated Dan DeCarlo badly. It went out of its way to avoid giving him any credit (and, thus, royalties) for the creation of Josie, though she originated in a proposed newspaper strip (and was named after DeCarlo’s wife) that DeCarlo had developed outside of his Archie work. When he sued to get credit, Archie fired him. Later, to add insult to injury, a story in which Betty identifies DeCarlo as her favorite artist was altered in a reprint, so that she now praised the publisher instead.

Honestly, I basically understand everything else as a cold business calculation from a company with a lot of leverage -- but that Soviet style reprint was pretty damned low.
(I also note I scratch my head at the cover for the "Best of Decarlo". Really? That? Best? Y'sure?)

SMURFS.
