Archie's Joke Book Magazine #130

A tennis court sets the scene for pure Riverdale silliness in this 1968 issue, as Veronica lunges dramatically across the court while Archie and a friend look on in the background — all while a speech bubble announces the real catastrophe: "Betty sprained her telephone dialing finger!" Down front, a very concerned Betty holds her hand out to an attendant with a first-aid kit, selling the gag with perfect deadpan timing. Archie's Joke Book "Laugh-In" Magazine was reliably good for a chuckle, and this cover promises exactly the lighthearted fun the title delivers.
