Archie's Joke Book Magazine #177

This October 1972 installment of Archie's Laugh-Out Joke Book Magazine delivers poolside comedy in two perfectly timed panels. The cover gag shows a white-haired fellow lounging beside two bikini-clad girls — one dark-haired, one blonde — demanding his butler Smithers locate his missing glasses because he "can't see a thing without them," only to spot a cheerful Archie bounding over and suddenly deciding, "Never mind, Smithers!" It's a witty, sun-drenched setup that captures everything fans loved about Archie's brand of breezy, good-natured humor at just 20 cents a laugh.
