“Girl Whirl”

Riverdale's favorite redhead takes a spectacular spill on his skateboard right at Betty and Veronica's feet in this cheerful 1986 entry from Archie Comics. Dan DeCarlo's cover captures the moment perfectly — Archie splayed out on the pavement, his board rolling away, while a stylishly dressed Betty and Veronica stroll past trading quips about "crash diets." It's warm, witty Archie humor at its most charming, with DeCarlo's clean, expressive linework giving the whole scene an irresistible bounce.

Reggie and the guys ridicule Archie for signing up for the girl's cooking class, but it is Archie that gets the last laugh.
