Archie #338

The cover of Archie #338 sets up a perfectly charming gag: a jubilant Archie leaps atop the title logo shouting "Yahoo! The library opens in ten minutes!" while the scene below shows him leaning eagerly over the librarian's desk — clearly more interested in the smiling blonde librarian than in any book on the shelves. With Jughead propped on his hand looking bored, Betty studying nearby with a globe, and the cover tagline asking "Guess which boy goes to the library every day… and hasn't read a book in months?", Dan DeCarlo's warm, expressive linework captures everything fun about Riverdale's most lovable knucklehead in this November 1985 issue.
