Archie's Joke Book Magazine #210

This July 1975 installment of Archie's Joke Book Magazine delivers the lighthearted, gag-driven humor the series does best. The three-panel cover sets up a rainy-day punchline perfectly: Archie warns the big, blond Moose that he can't walk to school without his rubbers, Moose replies he doesn't intend to — and the final panel reveals why, as the two boys are already getting thoroughly soaked in the downpour, umbrellas barely helping. It's a breezy, good-natured laugh that captures exactly the cozy charm of Riverdale comedy at 25 cents a copy.
