Archie at Riverdale High #76

There's a perfectly timed comedy happening at the Riverdale dugout in this 1980 entry in the long-running school series — Archie, still in his Riverdale baseball uniform, has his arms around a laughing blonde while a flustered, clipboard-clutching Coach looks on, and Archie's defense is hard to argue with: "I'm only following orders, Coach… you wanted me to practice the squeeze play!" Stan Goldberg's cover pencils deliver the gag with warmth and sharp comic timing, capturing the bleachers, the "Riverdale / Visitors" scoreboard, and a handful of amused onlookers completing the scene. With Frank Doyle's story "A Matter of Principal" inside, this issue keeps Riverdale High's mix of sports, school life, and Archie's cheerful chaos right where fans love it.
