Archie's Joke Book Magazine #136

Archie has taken "new ribbons on the typewriters" a bit too literally in this cheerful 1969 installment of Archie's Joke Book Magazine, with every typewriter in Miss Grundy's classroom wrapped up in colorful gift ribbons while a bewildered Grundy looks on from behind her desk. Cover pencils by Dan DeCarlo and inks by Rudy Lapick give the gag a clean, lively charm, with a crowd of classmates peering in through the doorway to enjoy Archie's well-meaning blunder. It's the kind of warm, goofy humor that made this series a perennial favorite at the spinner rack.
