Archie's Joke Book Magazine #161

A snapshot of early-1970s Riverdale social life, this June 1971 issue of Archie's Laugh-Out Joke Book Magazine captures a perfectly timed moment of teenage jealousy. The cover shows Archie strolling alongside a stylish girl sporting the trendy "Newsboy Look" — complete with beret and boots — while in the foreground, Reggie and a clearly unimpressed Betty exchange pointed commentary about the whole scene. It's the kind of breezy, relatable humor that made this series a reliable crowd-pleaser, and the interior story "Male Wail" promises more of the same lighthearted fun.
