Archie's Joke Book Magazine #219

Archie's Joke Book Magazine #219 delivers a perfectly timed slice of mid-1970s humor right on its cover, where Archie — decked out in his supermarket work coat — explains to a blonde friend that his new job is reviving customers after they see the price total at the checkout. The three-panel cover gag captures that universal grocery store sticker shock in a way readers in 1976 would have found all too relatable. A cheerful, lighthearted pick from the Archie Series that proves everyday life is always ripe for a good laugh.
