Archie's Joke Book Magazine #149

This June 1970 issue finds Archie standing at the front of an economics classroom, asking Miss Grundy if he can borrow her inflation charts to convince his dad to raise his allowance — a perfectly relatable scheme rendered with warm, cheerful humor. The cover's chalkboard displays graphs tracking the 1965-to-1970 dollar's declining true value, giving the gag a surprisingly topical edge for a Laugh-Out Joke Book. It's a charming snapshot of Riverdale meeting real-world concerns, all delivered with the light touch that makes this series such a treat.
