Archie's Joke Book Magazine #148

Poor Archie Andrews just can't catch a break — the cover of Archie's Joke Book Magazine #148 (1970) finds him nervously squirming in front of a furious Principal Weatherbee, who leans across his desk to announce this is Archie's fifth office visit of the week, while a composed, smirking woman standing nearby cheerfully declares she's "sure glad it's Friday!" Dan DeCarlo's pencils and Rudy Lapick's inks deliver that pitch-perfect Riverdale energy — expressive faces, bright colors, and a gag that lands before you even open the cover. At 15 cents, this was a genuinely fun pick-up for anyone who appreciated the lighthearted humor the Archie series did so well.
