Archie's Joke Book Magazine #173

Archie's Laugh-Out Joke Book Magazine returns with issue #173, and the cover sets the tone perfectly: Archie sits at his classroom desk, grinning sheepishly as his teacher asks how he found the algebra test questions — to which he quips that the questions were easy, it's the answers giving him trouble. With a chalkboard full of genuinely tricky math problems looming in the background and a blonde classmate looking on, this 1972 issue promises the kind of cheerful, groan-worthy humor that made this series a staple of the Archie lineup.
