Archie and Me #42

From 1971, this cheerful installment of Archie and Me captures the gang navigating the brave new world of televised education — with Archie's predictably irreverent take on it. The cover by Joe Edwards shows a rotund, beaming authority figure asking Archie for suggestions on improving a TV Algebra Course, while Archie gleefully recommends interrupting it with commercials, much to the delight of a laughing Jughead in the foreground; a blonde student works diligently at one of the classroom TV monitors, blissfully unaware of the chaos. It's a wonderfully light snapshot of early-'70s Riverdale humor, where no academic initiative is safe from Archie's cheerful mischief.
