Archie's Joke Book Magazine #176
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeA sunny poolside scene sets the stage for this September 1972 issue, with Archie and Jughead lounging in deck chairs while a friend in a varsity sweater enjoys the company of Betty and Veronica strolling past in their swimsuits — prompting the perfectly timed quip about preferring "girl watching" to TV watching, complete with a "re-runs" punchline. Down in the pool, a blonde and a dark-haired girl splash around on an inflatable dog float, adding to the breezy summer chaos. Dan DeCarlo's cover art captures that effortlessly cheerful Riverdale energy that made Archie's Laugh-Out Joke Book a genuine delight in 1972.
