“The Penalty of Pants”

Archie's Joke Book Magazine #197 delivers a classroom full of laughs, with the cover's two-panel gag showing the big #74-jersey-wearing Moose proudly announcing to a flustered teacher that he added a column of figures ten times — and helpfully brought along ten separate answers. The teacher's wide-eyed reaction and the surrounding students' growing laughter make this a perfectly timed bit of Riverdale humor that captures the warm, goofy spirit the series was known for in 1974. A fun, lighthearted pick-up with bonus Popsicle and Huck Finn content promised inside.

At a meeting of the Riverdale Liars Club, Archie starts by saying "Girls!! Who needs 'em?" and that he gets his kicks by collecting butterflies. Jughead is next, and says that he gets up every day at dawn, skips breakfast and jogs his usual 20 miles. After that, Moose gets up and says that after he studies his nuclear physics, he likes to relax with chess. Reggie responds by saying that he's never told a lie in his life and isn't about to start now. Reggie is surprised to earn the trophy that says "1st prize Riverdale Liars Club".
