Archie #268

On the football field, a dazed Archie lies on the turf after a big hit while his Coach leans over him asking if he's okay — only for Archie to groggily ask "Er, what inning is it?", much to the alarm of cheerleaders Betty and Veronica looking on. Two opposing players in pink and purple uniforms (numbers 12 and 13) stand watching in the background, completing this perfectly timed snapshot of gridiron chaos. From February 1978, this issue of Archie delivers the warm, lighthearted humor that has always made the Riverdale gang such irresistible company.
