“Tape Jape”

In "Tape Jape," Jughead’s accidental mishap with his tape recorder sets off a chain of misunderstandings when Archie’s offer to teach Sharon to ski gets recorded—and overheard by her jealous boyfriend, Rocco. Written by George Gladir and illustrated by Dan DeCarlo Jr. with inks by Jim DeCarlo, colors by Barry Grossman, and letters by Bill Yoshida, this 1980 classic captures the charm and chaos of Riverdale’s everyday antics. The cover by Dan DeCarlo Jr. perfectly captures the moment’s comedic tension.
