Archie and Me #108

Poor Archie — the cover of Archie and Me #108 tells the story in two perfectly timed panels: first, a wide-eyed Archie hears that the principal is sending someone to detention, and then, in the punchline below, a stern-looking authority figure points straight at him with a definitive "YOU!" while Betty, Veronica, and other students look on near the Study Hall door. It's the kind of relatable, good-natured school-day humor that made this Archie Comics Group series such a dependable favorite in 1979, and this issue — subtitled "Given the Slip" — promises more of that same cheerful mischief from Riverdale's most lovably unlucky redhead.
