Archie's Joke Book Magazine #206

This 1975 installment of Archie's Joke Book Magazine serves up a perfectly timed comedic scenario straight from the Lodge household. The cover unfolds in two panels: upstairs, Veronica sits at her vanity while a young boy named Leroy confidently offers Archie a shortcut — for the price of a quarter — to bring Ronnie right down, and Archie happily obliges. The punchline lands in the lower panel, where a dressed-to-impress Reggie arrives at the front door clutching a bouquet of roses and a gift, only for the same boy to announce his arrival instead — a delightful bit of Riverdale rivalry humor that sets the tone for a fun read.
