Archie's Joke Book Magazine #162

This 1971 installment of Archie's Joke Book Magazine delivers its humor in classic two-panel style, with cover pencils by Dan DeCarlo setting up a perfectly timed gag: an exasperated father leans into the living room to scold Veronica for spending two hours watching "a little TV," only for her to gesture toward a tiny television set beside the couch — where she's actually been cuddled up with a red-headed Archie, hearts floating in the air. It's a warmly drawn snapshot of the light, playful comedy that made this long-running series a reliable treat, and DeCarlo's expressive characters sell the punchline with effortless charm.
