Archie's Joke Book Magazine #150

A classroom gag sets the sunny tone for this 1970 installment of Archie's long-running humor anthology — a teacher asks Betty what sweet things contain the fewest calories, and her cheerful answer, "A kiss from Archie!", draws reactions from the whole gang seated around her. Al Hartley's breezy linework captures the Riverdale crew in fine form, with Archie, Veronica, and Jughead all visibly amused by Betty's quip. It's a genuinely charming snapshot of the lighthearted comedy that made this series a staple of the newsstand era.
